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:? 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 2024, we were awarded a NYSCA commission for Max Posner and a Venturous Theater Fund Finishing Commission for Bailey Williamss Coach Coach.? Brown University MFA Playwright Showcase: we present NYC readings of graduating MFA writers thesis plays. We hosted two readings in 2024.? Clubbed Thumb Writers Retreat, a week-long retreat at Two River Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey.? 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 2024 included workshops of all Summerworks plays, plus plays by Ro Reddick, Lisa DAmour, and Liza Birkenmeier and Trish Harnetiaux 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, early-career creative producers assist on programming, management and marketing under the guidance of Clubbed Thumb staff. This program evolves based on our production needs and staffing structure. In 2024, we had one producing fellow for Winterworks and one for Summerworks. 1321794 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 false false false false false false false false false true 100 0 true 104 true false false false false false true true 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 90000 0 11782 Anne Kauffman Board member 4.00 0.00 X 3250 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 Jr 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 93250 11782 0 false false false 0 154834 145405 1139481 19266 1439720 Box office income 711110 249884 249884 Contracted services 711110 7800 7800 Co-production income 711110 54097 54097 311781 24427 24427 0 0 0 80602 86093 -5491 -5491 -5491 24320 154834 24320 0 0 0 Book sales 711110 400 400 Fiscal sponsorship fee 711110 3500 3500 Miscellaneous 900099 239 239 4139 1774576 340347 -5491 X 0 0 0 0 105032 89765 5089 10178 0 449215 394715 21500 33000 17162 17162 72774 65537 2854 4383 55569 49762 2220 3587 0 0 7150 7150 0 0 150 150 398815 351592 3173 44050 60993 58368 1302 1323 8503 6705 1798 0 0 115503 115035 182 286 17557 17261 296 0 0 0 0 176 135 16 25 8419 6478 742 1199 Production costs 138805 135220 1902 1683 Bank & credit card charges 20507 10413 522 9572 Printing and Publications 6665 6562 31 72 Indirect benefit expenses 5518 5518 4829 3789 251 789 1493342 1321794 54085 117463 195464 214108 554896 4560 231830 447014 1551 4908 0 0 0 0 15801 64539 23062 23062 176 0 52188 573949 0 0 0 4645 39322 1056551 1348400 13316 19761 13316 19761 X 471582 471665 571653 856974 1043235 1328639 1056551 1348400 281234 4170 X false true X false false X 554530 840886 927914 1118640 1439720 4881690 0 0 554530 840886 927914 1118640 1439720 4881690 938019 3943671 8464 7899 7408 10455 24427 58653 0 33845 2126 840 370 4139 41320 4981663 545397 0.79160 0.80380 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23062 23062 X 1922004 4170 143258 147428 1774576 1774576 1636600 143258 143258 1493342 1493342 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.
