Our visually progressive productions of emotionally classic stories explore the challenges of relationship and identity in modern America. Founded in 2001, we have produced thirty mainstage productions (15 plays and 15 musicals) comprised of 11 world premieres, 4 New York premieres and 13 revivals. Our revivals are significant re-imaginings of classic yet infrequently produced material; our new pieces tackle challenging subject matter. Employing text, design, performance, music and space as equally and mutually dependent elements, we strive to create a synergy that elevates each piece and moves audiences to become intimately, emotionally and intellectually engaged. Productions are attended by 4,000-8,000 people annually and other one-night concerts, events and workshops attract an additional 500-800 people annually. Our audiences are theatergoers in the New York tri-state area. Our current season (2018-2019) included the world premiere of RENASCENCE (October/November 2018 at Abrons Arts Center) a musical about the life and work of Pulitzer Prize winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay with music by Carmel Dean, a book by Dick Scanlan and co-directed by Scanlan and Jack Cummings III; and a revival of the anti-war drama, THE TRIAL OF THE CATONSVILLE NINE (January/February 2019 at Abrons Arts Center) written by Daniel Berrigan and adapted and directed by Jack Cummings III based on the trial nine Vietnam War activists who burned draft cards in suburban Maryland in 1968. In the 2019-2020 season, Transport Group will produce a world premiere musical, JUST ONE, a new musical comprised of two, one-act, one-person musicals. With a book by Ellen Fitzhugh and Harrison Rivers and music by Ted Shen, this piece is about an African American man who works as an orderly at an assisted living facility and the friendship he develops with one of the residents and her family. The second show of our season will be a revival of the musical THE UNSINKABLE BROWN with an entirely revised book by Dick Scanlan and score by Meredith Willson. 710098 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false 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 30 0 true 92 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 19 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X LORI FINEMAN 2125640333 520 EIGHTH AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10018 JACK CUMMINGS III ARTISTIC DIR. 40.00 0.00 X X 50000 0 0 LORI FINEMAN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 50000 0 0 JENNY NIEDERHOFFER Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 YAEL JEKOGIAN Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LARRY HIRSCHHORN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH ACKERMAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE BERSTEIN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 IRENE CARNEY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOANNA SANDERS Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY FRIEDMAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARGOT ASTRACHAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BEN GOLDBERG BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FRANCESCA JAMES BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL CAREY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KEN STEIN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AIMEE STEELE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HILARY BLUMENREICH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARA LIND Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TARA ASHMORE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 100000 0 false false false 0 200612 365643 566255 SHOW ADMISSIONS 711110 414823 414823 414823 0 0 290 290 0 0 53750 200612 98125 -44375 -44375 0 0 0 936993 415113 -44375 0 0 0 0 94285 55628 25457 13200 0 183689 108377 49596 25716 0 10165 7116 2033 1016 35648 24954 7130 3564 0 0 0 0 0 0 10000 10000 37233 37233 29712 20798 5942 2972 0 0 18696 13087 3739 1870 0 0 0 0 0 0 5225 5225 PRODUCTION EXPENSES 265820 265820 SETS 74790 74790 THEATER RENTAL 65625 65625 SOUND 21473 21473 36335 15197 14456 6682 888696 710098 123578 55020 92980 168182 0 91497 80631 0 0 0 0 0 51200 18130 0 0 0 0 0 36800 17179 272477 284122 53037 36140 49869 30114 102906 66254 X 159571 192868 10000 25000 169571 217868 272477 284122 48297 X false true X false false X 317161 381268 458993 534899 620004 2312325 0 0 317161 381268 458993 534899 620004 2312325 377729 1934596 1290 377 380 242 290 2579 0 0 2314904 1541807 0.83570 0.80160 X EQUITY BOND 14228 SECURITY DEPOSIT 2951 17179 LOANS PAYABLE 30114 30114 X X X X X X X false A TOAST TO THE ARTIST 254362 200612 53750 63998 34127 254362 200612 53750 63998 34127 98125 -44375 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process MADE AVAILABLE VIA EMAIL.
