DescWT Education expanded its reach to serve 2,018 students across programs and introduced new on-site engagement initiatives to connect the art onstage with the larger community. The Residency Programs and Student Matinees have collectively recovered 61% of pre-pandemic student reach since returning to in-person programming and we aim to continue the expansion of these core outreach programs. RESIDENCY PROGRAMSIn the 2022-23 school year, The Novel Series served 29 classrooms in 5 schools. 683 CPS students participated, a 66% increase from the previous year. WT Education has received a great deal of interest from teacher and school partners for residency opportunities, but limited staff resources have made it difficult to meet the demand. WT Education has made a concerted effort to train and hire new teaching artists to support our goal to reach 30 CPS classrooms in the following 2023-24 school year.The WRITE ON! residency is a customizable program that creates a bespoke project to meet the needs of the students and objectives of the partner organization, school, or teacher. WT Education was able to expand its WRITE ON! workshops in the 2022-23 school year thanks to awards from the Creative Schools Fund and Illinois Arts Council Agency to support specific projects with Alcott College Preparatory High School and Stephen Mather High School respectively at no cost to the school partners. WRITE ON! served 151 students with unique workshops in partnership with 9 classrooms in 6 schools and 1 community organization.STUDENT MATINEESWriters Theatre initially had planned 3 student matinee performances for the 2022/23 Season but was able to increase to 4 performances with an additional student matinee for Once to meet school interest. 782 students and teachers from 21 high schools attended student matinee performances in the 2022-23 school year. ACTIVATE, the wraparound residency offered in conjunction with student matinee performances, also returned after a 3-year hiatus and served 392 students with pre- and post-performance workshops.TOURING OUTREACHWT Education is currently developing a new Touring Outreach production to promote civic responsibility and social justice. WT Education's playwriting residency with Stephen Mather High School in Spring 2023, led by Kona Burks and Terry Guest, marked the first phase in development for Writers' next touring production. WT will commission Burks and Guest to co-write a two-person show inspired by their work with the Mather High School studentsONSITE CREATIVE LEARNINGFrom family playtime to school break adventures, WT Education has a full slate of enriching programming for young people and families. Approximately 500 members of the community engaged in our onsite creative learning opportunities including camps, Wake Up Words Family Playtime, and engagement events around our mainstage productions.Desc

DescLiterary Development Initiative:Since 1992, Writers Theatre has produced 30 world premieres: 10 plays, 15 adaptations and 5 musicals. In 2004, WT launched the Literary Development Initiative (LDI) to revisit classic works, adapt celebrated literature for the stage and usher forward today's most innovative voices as the classics of the future. The LDI hosted three workshops in the 2022/23 Season, two of which concluded with a public reading. One Penny Down by Kirsten Greenidge, a new play inspired by the themes and legacy of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, is the newest commissioned project with the LDI and concluded its July workshop with a staged reading that utilized the public spaces of the Writers Theatre center.Desc

Part V, Line 4:The Theatre's endowment is comprised of contributions received and restricted by donors to be invested in perpetuity for charitable or educational activities and to give general operating support to the Theatre.
Part X, Line 2:The Theatre, an Illinois nonprofit corporation, is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, if any. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Theatre may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Theatre and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. Taxable income on those activities results from the income less direct and indirect expenses. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities during the year. The Theatre files Forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Form 990 was prepared by an independent outside accounting firm based on input from various Writers Theatre staff members. The prepared return was then reviewed by the CFO, and presented to the Finance Committee of the Board for discussion and review. After review by the Finance Committee, the Form 990 was made available to the Board of Trustees prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cTrustees are annually provided with and asked to complete a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form which requires them to disclose any relationships or transactions in which they or their family members are involved that could lead to a conflict of interest with their position as Trustees of Writers Theatre. Outside of the annual disclosure process, trustees are expected to promptly disclose any potential conflicts; the Board shall consider the facts and act accordingly. The Executive Director and Artistic Director are expected to report at least annually concerning conflicts, and potential conflicts should be promptly disclosed when discovered.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Reasonable Compensation: It is the policy of Writers Theatre to pay no more than reasonable compensation for personal services rendered to Writers Theatre by Trustees or employees. The Trustees of Writers Theatre shall not receive compensation for fulfilling their duties as Trustees, although Trustees may be reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket expenses which they incur in order to fulfill their duties as Trustees. Expenses of spouses will not be reimbursed by Writers Theatre unless the expenses are necessary to achieve a specific, pre-approved purpose. Approval of Compensation: The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees must approve in advance the amount of all compensation for the Executive Director, Artistic Director, and any Trustee entering into an agreement to provide personal services for payment to Writers Theatre subject to the terms of the Writers Theatre Conflict of Interest Policy. Before approving such compensation, the Compensation Committee shall determine that the total compensation to be provided by Writers Theatre is reasonable in amount in light of the position, responsibility and qualification for the position held, including the result of an evaluation of prior performance for Writers Theatre, if applicable. In making the determination, the Compensation Committee shall consider total compensation to include the salary and the value of all benefits provided by Writers Theatre to the individual in payment for services. At the time of the discussion and decision concerning compensation, the Executive Director, Artistic Director or Trustee should not be present in the meeting. The Compensation Committee will obtain and consider appropriate data concerning comparable compensation paid to similar positions in like circumstances. Once the Compensation Committee has met and reached an agreement, it will make a recommendation to the Executive Committee for approval. The Executive Committee shall set forth the basis for its decisions with respect to compensation in the minutes of the meeting at which the decisions are made, including the conclusions of the evaluation and the basis for determining that the individual's compensation was reasonable in light of the evaluation and the comparability data.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Writers Theatre provides copies of its governance policies, conflict of interest policy and financial statements upon request. Documents are made available per the disclosure requirements of Section 6104(d).
