It is the most dynamic, creative and efficient means we've found of serving the dual goals of our mission: to create new work and to foster an ever-growing artistic community. Summerworks features three fully-produced premieres, chosen to form an aesthetically diverse constellation of new plays and readings of works-in-progress from our Early-Career Writers Group. Many now well-established playwrights, including Sarah Ruhl, Gina Gionfriddo, Tanya Saracho, Jordan Harrison and Lisa DAmour made their New York and in some cases professional debut in Summerworks. Clubbed Thumb has returned to producing outside of Summerworks, on various scales, both independently and in collaboration with other institutions.Commissioning and Development work includes:- The Clubbed Thumb Biennial Commission: Every two years, we offer an open-application commission; the chosen playwright is awarded $15,000, and two years of development support. Previous awardees & finalists include Greg Moss, Agnes Borinsky, Angela Hanks and Clare Barron. - Other Commissioning Activities: Through various programs and funding sources (including NYSCA, the Toulmin Foundation, the Howard Gilman Foundation, and others), Clubbed Thumb has also commissioned plays from Erin Courtney, Ann Marie Healy, Jason Grote, Ethan Lipton, Jordan Harrison, Carson Kreitzer and others. In 2023, we were awarded a NYSCA commission for Birgit Huppuch and a Venturous Theater Fund Finishing Commission for Liza Birkenmeiers Grief Hotel.- Brown University MFA Playwright Showcase: a new partnership, we present NYC readings of graduating MFA writers thesis plays. We hosted two readings in 2023.- The Clubbed Thumb Writers Retreat, a week-long retreat at Two River Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey. This program was on hiatus in 2023.- New Play Development Workshops:10-12 plays a year (commissions, work by members of our writers group, and work by other writers) are developed within various programs. Development activities in 2023 included workshops of all Summerworks plays, plus plays by Migdalia Cruz, Johnny Lloyd, and many readings of other plays in development.Our Early-Career Incubator programs include: - Early-Career Writers Group:Started in 2013, eight playwrights, nominated by our mid-career alumni, meet throughout the year to read and discuss their work. They are paired with mentor playwrights, meet industry professionals and peer artists, and have a public reading of their work during Summerworks. - Early-Career Directing Fellowship:Launched in 2015 to address the scarcity of development opportunities for directors, this program provides a training intensive for 3 Early-Career directors working on commissioned plays under the guidance and mentorship of Anne Kauffman and others, as well as Clubbed Thumb staff, culminating in our annual Winterworks showcase.- Producing Fellowship:Started in 2016, this season-long practicum for 1 to 2 creative producers inhabits a range of interests and experience, culminating in hands-on roles in Summerworks. We had one producing fellow Jan. - Sept. 2023, who then transitioned roles to our deputy script wrangler. 884355 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 82 0 true 73 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 16 14 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X Maria Striar 2122600153 440 Lafayette St 4th Floor New York NY 10003 Maria Striar Board member 40.00 0.00 X 80000 0 8873 Anne Kauffman Board member 4.00 0.00 X 5000 0 0 Jill Bishop Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fred Dassori Board Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jonathan Rebell Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Allyn Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Tecson Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erin Courtney Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John Bishop Vice-Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nina Hellman Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kyle Sarausky Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jason Ferguson Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Josh Silverman Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Herrera Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maheshie Cabraal Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lillian Osei-Boateng Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 85000 8873 0 false false false 0 154560 105330 858750 89097 1118640 Box office income 711110 80929 80929 Contracted services 711110 6704 6704 87633 9337 9337 0 1118 1118 0 7627 7607 20 20 20 14977 154560 14977 0 0 0 Book sales 711110 257 257 Miscellaneous 900099 113 113 370 1217118 89141 9337 X 0 0 0 0 93873 80542 4444 8887 0 282053 228892 22876 30285 9443 9443 52513 45346 3077 4090 35164 29510 2328 3326 0 0 6500 6500 0 0 0 331972 320054 4428 7490 8493 6922 651 920 7365 3310 3335 720 0 0 41362 41132 95 135 15647 15447 200 0 0 0 0 2118 1539 240 339 11121 8080 1260 1781 Production costs 80794 79454 1072 268 Indirect benefit expenses 13601 13601 Bank & credit card charges 10211 5832 346 4033 Printing and Publications 4880 4763 117 5052 4089 340 623 1012162 884355 51309 76498 123551 195464 439155 554896 234085 231830 1551 0 0 0 0 28698 15801 23062 22886 2294 176 47968 52188 0 0 0 1830 4645 877581 1056551 43522 13316 43522 13316 X 470601 471582 363458 571653 834059 1043235 877581 1056551 204956 4220 X false true X false false X 927529 554530 840886 927914 1118640 4369499 0 0 927529 554530 840886 927914 1118640 4369499 744302 3625197 66200 8464 7899 7408 10455 100426 0 3109 33845 2126 840 370 40290 4510215 401812 0.80380 0.80420 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23062 22886 176 176 X 1307207 4220 85869 90089 1217118 1217118 1098031 85869 85869 1012162 1012162 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Management has evaluated all income tax positions and concluded that no disclosures relating to uncertain tax positions are required in the financial statements.
