Two producing partnerships as well as one project presented through our In Collaboration with New Georges producing model, supported by Venturous Theater Fund of the Tides Foundation, in which we provide mentorship and support to New Georges Affiliated Artists who are producing their work independently. It also supported core programs The Audrey Residencies, The Jam, The Room, and New Georges Supported Productions. Productions:GRIEF HOTEL by Liza Birkenmeier, directed by Tara Ahmadinejad: we joined Clubbed Thumb as presenting partners for their remount of a show by two long-time New Georges affiliated artists, originally presented in Clubbed Thumbs 2023 Summerworks; The Public Theater, March 20 to April 27, 2024, including a one-week extension. HILMA by Kate Scelsa and Robert M. Johanson, directed by Morgan Green: we were producing partners on the world premiere of a contemporary opera based on the life and work of the artist Hilma af Klint at The Wilma Theater in Philadelphia, June 4 to 23, 2024 (streaming through July 21). KARA & EMMA & BARBARA & MIRANDA by Ariel Stess, directed by Meghan Finn, was produced by the playwright and presented In Collaboration With New Georges at The Tank, August 2 to 17, 2024. The play sold out all performances in its short festival run and received rave reviews in The New Yorker and Vulture. Ariel was the winner of a 2024 Obie Award for Playwriting and the 2025 Yale Drama Series Prize for this play.Ongoing artistic and organizational programs:The Jam: New Georges collaboration-based, artist-led working lab for early- to mid-career theatermakers met biweekly throughout the 2023-24 season, the second year of the current cohorts two-year session. A new method of selecting collaborators resulted in strong, productive artistic collaborations and the first post-pandemic presentation of JAMboree, The Jams traditional culminating event, held May 13 and 14, 2024, at Brooklyns Center for Performance Research. New members to this cohort were admitted in fall 2024. The Audrey Residencies: the 2023-24 residency cohort consisted of 10 resident artists working on 7 new-play projects, individually or in collaboration. The group met monthly into June 2024; a new cohort was admitted in early fall 2024, consisting of 12 resident artists working on 8 new-play projects, individually or in collaboration. Monthly residency meetings for this group were inventively devised and productive, and progress of significance was made in developing their residency projects in The Room and beyond. Participants in New Georges Supported Productions, in which we provide no-fee fiscal sponsorship, promotional support, and an institutional platform to affiliated artists producing their work independently, included Nadira Simones PLAY HERE [_____] at Wild Project, March 2024; Catherine Fillouxs HOW TO EAT AN ORANGE, May/June 2024; LA PALOMA PRISONER, by Raquel Almazan, directed by Estefana Fadul, at Chelsea Factory in December 2024.The Room/Subsidized Workspace: The Room hosted the rehearsals and development processes of 102 New Georges affiliated artists, both participants in core development programs and our Subsidized Workspace program, which provides our artists with experiment space for their own creative projects at very low rates. In fact, affiliated artist use of The Room is higher than at any time in our history, limiting the income usually provided by outside renters in favor of mission-driven activity. 634165 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 29 0 true 2 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X Jaynie Saunders Tiller 6463368077 85 Broad Street 17th Fl New York NY 10004 Jaynie Saunders-Tiller Managing Director 40.00 0.00 91897 0 0 Deadria Harrington Secretary 20.00 0.00 X X 22187 0 0 Susan Bernfield Board Member 35.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Morgan Brill Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Danielle Porcaro Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hilary Bettis Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Miranda Haymon Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alisa Schierman Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rachel Karpf President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 114084 0 false false false 0 29763 34730 415888 480381 Box office 711110 36416 36416 36416 4497 4497 0 0 10710 10710 10710 10710 0 24781 29763 24781 0 0 0 Miscellaneous income 711110 897 897 897 532901 52520 X 0 0 0 0 114084 66232 27254 20598 0 0 0 3990 454 4291 -755 9662 5608 2312 1742 0 0 6500 5200 975 325 0 0 0 108890 91665 2575 14650 9759 4795 3494 1470 5640 4512 846 282 0 0 115003 93604 16049 5350 26987 18003 4150 4834 0 0 0 0 5140 4112 771 257 3184 2547 478 159 Production costs 329219 329219 Miscellaneous 9460 7206 1804 450 Indirect benefit expenses 5928 5928 Bad debt 4218 4218 5369 1008 3466 895 763033 634165 72683 56185 125029 100825 286973 129917 211663 125691 11612 180 0 0 0 0 9401 24986 13380 13380 1307 0 0 0 0 5431 1598 85666 49195 737082 432392 56881 20166 1989 845 68615 31916 127485 52927 X 290893 211020 318704 168445 609597 379465 737082 432392 -230132 X false true X false false X 421908 465720 638608 541932 480381 2548549 0 0 421908 465720 638608 541932 480381 2548549 692927 1855622 11430 3749 15999 16360 15207 62745 0 1617 7238 683 897 10435 2621729 179626 0.70780 0.63880 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 13380 13380 Operating right of use asset 32000 Security deposit 17195 49195 Operating lease liability 31916 31916 X 632901 100000 100000 532901 532901 863033 100000 100000 763033 763033 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is a not-for-profit corporation exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been designated as a corporation which is not a private foundation.

If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the Board or committees shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction or arrangement is fair and reasonable to Theater Labrador and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination.
