In summer 2020, we began to hear from artists that, after the first confusing months of shutdown, they were ready to create again. Since their nascent projects took many forms, we decided to establish a tiered structure of artistic fees and commissions, permitting us to rapidly say "yes" to compelling ideas that kept artists feeling creative, productive, and simply like themselves. This direct support of artists and their reconfigured ingenuity led to a surprisingly vibrant slate of production and development in FY21.This included: A video "calling card" for LEGERDEMAN, by Lynn Rosen, directed by Julie Kramer. LEGERDEMAIN, a new play developed in our Audrey Residency program, was easily re-conceived and rewritten for a pandemic context (it's an odd and funny play about loneliness and isolation); Lynn and Julie convened their original cast to make an hour-long video excerpt for the purpose of introducing the play to theaters around the country; January 2021 (producers). An initial iteration of 1st and 15th by Daaimah Mubashshir. In this digital project, short moving-image works based on Daaimah's EVERYDAY AFROPLAY {EDAP} were presented to a small audience the playwright surveyed and selected on the 1st of each month; on the 15th, Art Makers and Art Takers came together to talk about what's most important: Art; February/March 2021 (start-up support/mentorship). DREAM/HOME, an object- and map-based theatrical exploration of your own home and surroundings conceived and directed by Emerie Snyder; as part of Post Theatrical, a national festival of plays by mail; April 2021 (co-producers). ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS COMMODORE MATTHEW PERRY COULD HAVE DIED BEFORE OPENING JAPAN BUT DIDN'T, by Julia Izumi, commissioned/written for live video performance and co-produced with Theatre in Quarantine (Joshua William Gelb and Katie Rose McLaughlin, co-creative directors); premiered April 29, 2021, remains available on TiQ's YouTube channel (commissioners/co-producers). BOOK CLUB, a serial play with audience participation in a new adaptation for Zoom, by Moe Angelos, directed by Nicole A. Watson. Zoom reading in May 2021, development is continuing (producers). Afrofemononomy // Work the Roots, a group activation of Black femme theater artists in celebration of each other, led by playwright/performer Eisa Davis. Through community care and liberatory practices, along with the exploration of Davis The Essentialisnt and a quartet of unproduced one-acts by the late playwright/filmmaker Kathleen Collins, they melt down systemic obstacles to their holistic health and wellbeing. Public presentations included outdoor live offerings around the boroughs, music, short films and an installation; in residence at Performance Space New York from March to June; presentations at PSNY and around town through June, 2021 (co-producing partners).Ongoing Programs: The New Georges Jam: Our working lab for early-career playwrights and directors continued to meet biweekly on Zoom through May 2021, supporting its members individually and in collaboration. The Jam kept to its biennial admissions schedule, admitting 14 new members in December 2020 following a successfully re-imagined application process. The Audrey Residencies: Traditionally, our core play development program offers 3 weeks of space in The Room, our workspace, to develop a new play project over the course of a year, along with a monthly meeting of residents. Due to lock down, we extended the residencies of the eleven members of the 2020 cohort through 2021. Monthly residency meetings have continued throughout this time, and we've provided ongoing budgetary and artistic support to any aspects of residents' processes that could occur remotely. 220442 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 40 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 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 222 Broadway 19th Fl New York NY 10038 X Susan Bernfield Secretary 35.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Annie Chanler Board Chair 2.00 0.00 X 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 Alisa Schierman Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 167030 298690 465720 Box office 711110 7120 7120 7120 625 625 0 0 3124 3124 3124 3124 0 0 0 0 0 476589 10244 625 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 95970 54176 9755 32039 150 150 650 650 9150 6628 762 1760 0 0 6000 4800 900 300 0 0 0 95724 75750 19974 6915 4355 2003 557 4934 4934 0 0 57214 53857 2518 839 4448 2078 2190 180 0 0 3064 3064 0 119 95 18 6 2754 2203 413 138 Production expenses 14707 14707 Miscellaneous 5051 201 3724 1126 Bank and finance charges 1245 1245 Telephone 990 792 149 49 669 413 256 309754 220442 52062 37250 175060 271020 134212 134403 153738 214615 266 0 0 0 0 8256 7578 13380 9221 4159 0 0 0 0 15699 15698 486965 647739 45770 57662 180 50000 31867 95770 89709 X 128783 311930 262412 246100 391195 558030 486965 647739 166835 X false true X false false X 436147 331094 510097 421908 465720 2164966 0 0 436147 331094 510097 421908 465720 2164966 692713 1472253 16348 18251 16271 11430 3749 66049 0 10328 935 679 1617 13559 2244574 155147 0.65590 0.65140 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 13380 9221 4159 4159 X 580017 103428 103428 476589 476589 413182 103428 103428 309754 309754 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.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts Periodic reviews shall be conducted by the Board to ensure that Theater Labrador operates in a manner consistent with its charitable purposes and that it does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its status as an organization exempt from federal income tax. Should a Conflict of Interest exist, the Chairperson of the Board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the Board or committee shall determine whether Theater Labrador can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. 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.
