OUR MISSION IS TO OFFER DYNAMIC, JOYFUL, ACTOR-DRIVEN PRODUCTIONS, AND THE HIGHEST QUALITY, ACCESSIBLE, AFFORDABLE TRAINING FOR EMERGING ARTISTS. WE CREATE TEXT-BASED THEATRICAL EXPERIENCES THAT DELIGHT AUDIENCES OF SEASONED THEATERGOERS AND NEWCOMERS ALIKE. TO DATE OVER 200,000 AUDIENCE MEMBERS IN NYC HAVE SEEN OUR PRODUCTIONS, INCLUDING 12,000+ SCHOOL CHILDREN, AND THE NY TIMES HAS CALLED FIASCO A FORCE TO RECKNON WITH IN THE AMERICAN THEATER. AFTER THE RUNAWAY SUCCESS OF OUR FIRST SHOW (CYMBELINE, 2009), WE WERE FORTUNATE TO PARTNER WITH LARGER INSTITUTIONS TO PRESENT OUR WORK FOR 10 YEARS. IN 2019, WE LAUNCHED A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN TO GROW OUR CAPACITY TO PRODUCE MORE OF OUR OWN PROGRAMMING.OUR LONG-TERM GOAL TO ELEVATE AND TRANSFORM THE STANDARD FOR HOW THEATER GETS MADE BY DISRUPTING A CULTURE OF EXTRACTION, AND OFFERRING A MORE HUMANE AND JOYFUL ALTERNATIVE TO ARTISTS, STUDENTS AND AUDIENCES. Other PART III, LINE 4A - FIASCO CURRENTLY PRODUCES ANNUAL PROGRAMMING IN TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES. 1) WE DEVELOP AND PRODUCE ACTOR-CENTERED PRODUCTIONS THROUGH SEVERAL DEVELOPMENTAL PERFORMANCE SERIES, INCLUDING THE WORKSHOP PRODUCTION INITIATIVE WITHOUT A NET, AND CO-PRODUCTIONS WITH PARTNER THEATERS. PARTNER THEATERS IN NYC HAVE INCLUDED CLASSIC STAGE CO, RED BULL, TFANA, NEW VICTORY, AND ROUNDABOUT THEATRE, WHERE WE SERVE AS THE FIRST-EVER COMPANY IN RESIDENC;. AND 2) WE CONDUCT PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS, INCLUDING WORKSHOP CLASSES, A FREE TRAINING INITIATIVE AND A LONGER CONSERVATORY PROGRAM. OUR PROFESSIONAL ARTIST TRAINING IS UNIQUE IN THAT WE WELCOME ALL TALENTED, PASSIONATE STUDENTS, NOT JUST THOSE PRIVILEGED TO AFFORD IT. WE REGULARLY PROVIDE GRANTS FOR OUR CONSERVATORY THAT COVER BETWEEN 20 AND 100% OF TUITION AND THERE IS NO FEE TO APPLY. WE BELIEVE THE WAY THE WORK IS MADE IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE WORK ITSELF. WE STRIVE TO EMPOWER ACTORS IN OUR PROCESSES, DISRUPTING THE TYPICAL HIERARCHY OF AMERICAN THEATER-MAKING. WE HAVE A SHARED LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE, AND OUR CLASSES AND PRODUCTIONS OFTEN HAVE CO-TEACHERS AND CO-DIRECTORS, MODELING COLLABORATION AND MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES, INVITING ENSEMBLE MEMBERS TO BRING THEIR WHOLE SELVES TO THE CONVERSATION. WE PAY ARTISTS AND EDUCATORS A LIVING WAGE (WE DEFINE THIS AS NEVER LESS THAN $20/HR) AND WORK IN HUMANE CONDITIONS (5 DAY WORK-WEEK, 72 HOUR ADVANCED SCHEDULING NOTICE). PLEASURE IS A PART OF THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING WE CREATE: WE BELIEVE JOY IS A KEY INGREDIENT IN THE COMMUNAL ACT OF SHARING A STORY WITH AN AUDIENCE.
