Since 1992, we've cultivated our boundary-pushing aesthetic in a nimble, artist-driven production environment: committing to projects early, equipping them with processes rooted in strong collaborations, and providing steady artistic support. We serve the largest ongoing working community of women theater artists in New York City more than 200 playwrights, directors, actors and designers with premiere productions, a variety of play development programs, and The Room, our permanent workspace and the year-round hub of our activities. Our community of artists uses The Room for their own creative projects at subsidized rates a critical resource in Manhattan, where the scarcity of affordable space has significant impact on new works development. Indeed, our 22-year commitment to providing our artists with free or low-cost workspace is unique among small theaters and has incubated thousands of new plays. New Georges has premiered 45 new full-length plays and produced 12 festivals of new work; our plays and our people have received 3 Obie Awards, the Lilly Award, the Susan Smith Blackburn and Kesselring Prizes, and the influx of New Georges artists into the field over the last 25 years has had marked impact on the representation of women nationwide in theater, film, television and arts education.FY17 programs included:MAINSTAGE PRODUCTION New Georges produced the world premiere of (NOT) WATER, co-conceived by Sheila Callaghan and Daniella Topol, at 3LD Art & Technology Center from June 5-30, as part of Works on Water, a month-long, multidisciplinary art event featuring (NOT) WATER and an inaugural triennial of art that works on, in and with the water;THE AUDREY RESIDENCIES, a year-long residency during which artists spend 3 weeks developing a new play in The Room accompanied by monthly meetings;THE JAM, an ongoing collaboration-based lab for early-career playwrights and directors;SUBSIDIZED WORKSPACE for affiliated artists in The Room;NEW GEORGES SUPPORTED PRODUCTIONS, a program that provides mentorship and an institutional platform to artists who produce their work independently;SPACE GRANTS/SPECIAL PROJECTS, which include artist-initiated readings or workshop presentations of new works created or developed in The Room;AFFILIATED ARTIST SERVICES, such as playwright/director matching; play library and casting files; networking events; and frequent e-mail blasts regarding opportunities at New Georges and theaters nationwide. 360974 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 51 0 true 51 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 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 Director 1.00 0.00 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 Ellen Pollock Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cheryl Waley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 37353 68500 330294 436147 Box office 711110 15894 15894 Coproduction revenue 711110 16100 16100 31994 133 133 0 0 16115 100 16115 100 16215 16215 0 1679 37353 1679 0 0 0 Fiscal sponsorship 711110 246 246 Miscellaneous 900099 10082 10082 10328 494817 58537 133 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 141631 77617 32007 32007 2415 2415 13693 12388 653 652 14942 8187 3377 3378 0 0 5500 4400 825 275 0 0 0 88565 79886 6679 2000 9502 8448 220 834 3843 3843 0 0 104863 88299 10077 6487 12255 10623 1632 0 0 1481 1481 0 485 388 73 24 4691 3808 662 221 Production expenses 50535 50535 Printing and Publications 8408 6645 1427 336 Indirect benefit expenses 7123 7123 Miscellaneous 6313 997 3724 1592 8225 6338 835 1052 484470 360974 65883 57613 -15805 78666 76621 5604 127269 99000 8361 15067 0 0 0 0 36896 37905 14785 8203 280 6582 0 0 0 0 36247 41913 269869 284737 32609 62130 25000 57609 62130 X 98413 39782 113847 182825 212260 222607 269869 284737 10347 X false true X false false X 262519 241829 273250 400935 436147 1614680 0 0 262519 241829 273250 400935 436147 1614680 389727 1224953 25264 21170 17330 20793 16348 100905 0 11119 1974 120 2460 10328 26001 1741586 0.70340 0.71850 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 14785 8203 6582 6582 Security deposit 41913 41913 X 549817 55000 55000 494817 494817 539470 55000 55000 484470 484470 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.

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.
