Our visually progressive productions of emotionally classic stories explore the challenges of relationships and identity in modern America. Founded in 2001, we have produced twenty mainstage productions (nine plays and eleven musicals) comprised of eight world premieres, four New York premieres and eight revivals. Our revivals are significant re-imaginings of classic yet infrequently produced material; our new pieces tackle challenging subject matter. Employing text, design, performance and music 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 4,500 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 included the world premiere of House For Sale an autobiographical essay by New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Franzen adapted and directed for the stage by Daniel Fish and the New York premiere of a new musical, The Memory Show by Sara Cooper and Zach Redler starring Catherine Cox and Leslie Kritzer directed by Joe Calarco. Both shows were performed at the Duke on 42nd Street. 588076 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false 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 false true 41 0 false 147 true false false false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 18 17 false false true false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true false false false false NY X LORI FINEMAN 2125640333 520 EIGHTH AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10018 KEN STEIN 2.00 X 0 0 0 RIC PAGE 2.00 X 0 0 0 YAEL JEKOGIAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 BAN GOLDBERG 2.00 X 0 0 0 RORY STANTON 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MARCIA COHEN 2.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT MANVILLE 2.00 X X 0 0 0 FRANCESCA JAMES 2.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY FRIEDMAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA FREITAG 2.00 X 0 0 0 SHAWN FLOWERS 2.00 X 0 0 0 LORI FINEMAN 40.00 X X 0 0 0 JACK CUMMINGS III 40.00 X X 48555 0 0 RICHARD WINKLER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE BERNSTEIN 2.00 X 0 0 0 IRENE CARNEY 2.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH ACKERMAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 ELLEN WEISS 2.00 X X 0 0 0 48555 0 false false false 0 87601 24868 331995 444464 SHOW ADMISSIONS 185464 185464 185464 39 39 0 0 0 0 27360 87601 41071 -13711 0 0 0 616256 185503 X 0 0 0 0 48555 14567 16994 16994 0 154423 114370 16411 23642 0 40469 40469 28849 20771 4039 4039 0 3075 3075 0 0 0 0 0 24804 12402 12402 6600 4817 1254 529 0 0 11502 7688 2301 1513 0 0 0 0 0 0 12700 9271 2413 1016 SETS 21087 21087 SOUND 22360 22360 THEATER RENTAL 82756 82756 PRODUCTION EXPENSES 108829 108829 163539 128689 27721 7129 729548 588076 74208 67264 66714 17889 0 13722 78587 1411 0 0 0 0 58210 36082 0 0 0 0 0 21325 2455 224836 71559 65109 41624 16500 81609 41624 X 143227 29935 143227 29935 224836 71559 -113292 X false true false false false X 151815 338917 262003 643375 444464 1840574 0 0 151815 338917 262003 643375 444464 1840574 62103 1778471 205 123 58 70 39 495 0 -19293 -19293 1821776 0.97620 0.96750 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false ANNUAL GALA 114961 87601 27360 41071 114961 87601 27360 41071 41071 -13711 Form 990, Part IX, Line 24e Form 990, Part IX, Line 24e: Other Expenses WRITERS: Column (A) - Total = $8241;
