We cultivate our influential aesthetic in an open, nimble, artist-driven production environment, committing to unusual plays early in their development, equipping them with processes rooted in strong collaborations, and providing steady artistic support. We serve the largest ongoing working network of women and tgnc theater artists in New York City with career-transforming productions; a diverse slate of play and artist development programs; our indispensable workspace, The Room; and the cultivation of an artistic community (now 260 artists strong) and the collaborations that arise within it. Our hub and the primary resource with which we serve artists is The Room, New Georges permanent workspace for women theater artists, located in ART/New Yorks Spaces at 520. In addition to using The Room for our own programs and rehearsals, we provide space to members of our affiliated artist community for their own artistic projects at subsidized rates a critical program in Manhattan, where the scarcity of affordable space has significant impact on the development of new works. New Georges 25-year commitment to providing its artists with free or low-cost workspace is unique among downtown theaters and has incubated thousands of new plays. Our resources programs rooted in collaboration, access to creative workspace encourage artists to get up from the table and out from behind music stands, fostering the 3-D experimentation essential to highly theatrical plays. We measure impact not only in artistic output but in quality of process, depth of experimentation, new approaches ventured, next-step opportunities, and relationships made and strengthened. FY2018 Core Programs include:Productions, traditionally two per year (recent venues: The Flea [Anchor Partners], The ART/New York Theatres [pilot company], The Bushwick Starr, Dixon Place, HERE, 3LD, New Ohio Theatre); in FY2018 we produced two sound-focused shows SOUND HOUSE by Stephanie Fleischmann, directed by Debbie Saivetz and THIS IS THE COLOR DESCRIBED BY THE TIME conceived & directed by Lily Whitsitt, created by Door 10;Subsidized Workspace Program for affiliated artists in The Room grants artists access to our citys most precious resource: clean, bright workspace at very low prices (120 artists per year);The Audrey Residencies, our core play development program, engages participants in artistic life here for a full year. Working individually or in collaboration, residents spend up to 3 weeks in The Room developing a new-play project; at monthly meetings that are the heart of the program, project-based prompts lead residents to discuss the work on a substantive (rather than critical) level, resulting in revealing conversations that hasten camaraderie and deepen residents investment in each other. (11-16 residents work on 6-8 new plays annually); The New Georges Jam, a collaboration-based working lab for early-career women and gnc theatermakers. Artist led, The Jam combines a structure of institutional support with the ethos of a collective to generate work that maximizes the three-dimensional potential of our form. Each year culminates in JAMboree, a proof of concept showing of works in process (the 26-member 2018-19 Jam is the largest and most diverse ever, including a composer and dramaturg in addition to playwrights and directors; in 2018, 265 artists applied for 12 open slots); New Georges Supported Productions, in which we provide mentorship, fiscal sponsorship, resources and an institutional platform to affiliated artists who are producing their work independently; we often support plays developed in our programs, such as Liza Birkenmeier and Katherine Brooks Islander, a 2018 Audrey Residency project to be presented in 2020 at NYTW Next Door (2-3 artists/projects per year);Space grants/special projects: artist-initiated readings or workshop presentations created or developed in The Room, including Deadline Readings, which encourage playwrights to finish early drafts of new scripts by promising an initial hearing (3-4 per year); Playwright/Director Jumpstart and Designer Mixer, community-wide events that introduce potential collaborators in a casual context (30 artists annually);Affiliated Artist services including our casting and women/gnc designer databases; monthly e-mail blasts regarding opportunities at New Georges and theaters nationwide; promotion for affiliated artist projects through our e-blasts and social media channels. 383803 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true 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 false false false true 28 0 true 51 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 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 25 Broadway 9th Fl New York NY 10004 X Susan Bernfield Artistic Dir. 35.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Annie Chanler Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Morgan Brill Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Catherine Bernath Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Miriam Weiner Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jessica Bauman Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cheryl Whaley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 59213 55375 216506 331094 Box office 711110 24617 24617 24617 15 15 0 0 18236 18236 18236 18236 0 2697 59213 2697 0 0 0 Miscellaneous 900099 935 935 935 374897 43788 15 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 146964 108917 23698 14349 3985 3985 24871 22034 2322 515 14177 11136 1900 1141 0 0 5500 4400 825 275 0 0 0 82273 74274 6999 1000 8396 6116 1076 1204 3316 2978 338 0 0 115679 84435 23033 8211 7927 5878 2024 25 0 0 6955 6955 0 407 326 61 20 3199 2559 480 160 Production expenses 49993 49993 Printing and Publications 9674 4119 580 4975 Indirect benefit expenses 9405 9405 Miscellaneous 9204 2605 3704 2895 5194 3026 2055 113 507119 383803 78690 44626 78666 111782 5604 1237 99000 47550 15067 13736 0 0 0 0 37905 14905 9102 8611 6582 491 0 0 0 0 41913 25698 284737 215399 62130 22066 3198 99750 62130 125014 X 39782 18810 182825 71575 222607 90385 284737 215399 -132222 X false true X false false X 241829 273250 400935 436147 331094 1683255 0 0 241829 273250 400935 436147 331094 1683255 444075 1239180 21170 17330 20793 16348 18251 93892 0 1974 120 2460 10328 935 15817 1792964 0.69110 0.70340 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 9102 8611 491 491 Security deposit 25698 25698 X 434897 60000 60000 374897 374897 567119 60000 60000 507119 507119 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.
