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 2020-21.This included:- The re-mount of KAREN, I SAID, a Zoom theatrical, written and performed by Eliza Bent, directed by Tara Ahmadinejad, with Bentertainment in association with All For One Theater.- 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 KatieRose McLaughlin, co-creative directors); premiered April 29, 2021, remains available on TiQ's YouTube channel (commissioners/co-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, 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 reimagined 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. Monthly residency meetings continued online throughout 2020, and we've provided ongoing budgetary and artistic support to any aspects of residents' processes that could occur remotely. Additional pandemic activities. Last May, we surveyed our affiliated artist community about what they need and what we might provide during this time. Their answers resulted in a slate of new activities starting in summer 2020:- Match Me!: curated playwright/director introductions with the aim of jumpstarting new collaborations;- Directors' Block Party: a series of topic-specific meetups for New Georges directors;- Hyper-local outdoor meetups: we connected artists in two neighborhoods with the possibility that they might generate new outdoor work;- The Virtual Room: provision of reading/workshop space on a dedicated professional Zoom account;- Deadria's BIPOC Happy Hour: Associate Director/Producer Deadria Harrington invited BIPOC-identifying affiliated artists to gather on Zoom in September;- Lunch Money: an affiliated artist grocery fund, offering microgrants to artists who indicated concern about their own wellbeing. 205510 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 17 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 4 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 Alisa Schierman Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 77617 344291 421908 Box office 711110 7555 7555 Co-production income 711110 3000 3000 10555 100 100 0 0 11330 11330 11330 11330 0 0 0 0 Fiscal sponsorship income 711110 175 175 Miscellaneous 900099 1442 1442 1617 445510 23502 100 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 110122 82629 21300 6193 0 6849 3562 3287 8334 4731 2310 1293 0 0 6000 4800 900 300 0 0 0 29233 25900 3333 1585 161 280 1144 3492 3492 0 0 62745 45130 10683 6932 4554 3613 399 542 0 0 6430 6430 0 122 98 18 6 2772 2217 416 139 Bad debt 16500 16500 Production expenses 11509 11505 4 Miscellaneous 5487 390 2840 2257 Telephone 978 782 147 49 1428 1068 360 278140 205510 53415 19215 71323 175060 1149 134212 252401 153738 8328 0 0 0 0 0 6128 8256 9102 9102 123 0 0 0 0 0 25698 15699 365150 486965 36805 45770 4520 100000 50000 141325 95770 X -22972 128783 246797 262412 223825 391195 365150 486965 167370 X false true X false false X 400935 436147 331094 510097 421908 2100181 0 0 400935 436147 331094 510097 421908 2100181 667502 1432679 20793 16348 18251 16271 11430 83093 0 2460 10328 935 679 1617 16019 2199293 0.65140 0.66080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 9102 9102 X 537797 92287 92287 445510 445510 370427 92287 92287 278140 278140 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.
