Co-Founded in 2001 by Jack Cummings III & Robyn Hussa, Transport Group is currently run by Cummings as Artistic Director and Executive Director, Denise Dickens. We produce plays and musicals; new works and revivals. For over twenty years, Transport Group has crafted risk-taking, thoughtful, acclaimed productions of plays and musicals that widen the lens on our American experience. By centering unlikely protagonists, embracing nontraditional casting, and incorporating daring design, we create unexpected theatrical experiences that allow audiences and artists to collaboratively explore what we mean by an American identity. In the span of two decades, we have produced thirty-five shows: seventeen new works, eighteen revivals, fourteen world premieres, six commissions, and three New York premieres. Each year, Transport Group aims to mount two American plays or musicals in mainstage Off-Broadway productions. When planning our season, we take into account the scope and scale of each work, always prioritizing artistic integrity and high-quality production values. Each season also includes extensive development processes for new works and revivals alike that put artistic exploration at the forefront. We produce readings, developmental labs, workshops, concerts and other special events. 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 2022/2023 season featured our second collaboration with the National Asian American Theatre Company (NAATCO). Transport Group produced the first off-Broadway revival of Edward Albees Pulitzer Prize-winning play, A DELICATE BALANCE. In A DELICATE BALANCE, Agnes and Tobias, a wealthy middle-aged couple, have their complacency shattered when their longtime friends appear at their doorstep, claiming an encroaching fear has forced them from their home. Transport Group and NAATCO's production of A DELICATE BALANCE is an equal representation of both companies, with both artistic leaders at the helm - Jack Cummings III as director and Mia Katigbak in the role of Agnes. As a part of our community outreach for A DELICATE BALANCE, we curated a virtual conversation with the cast and creative team, and three talkbacks moderated by NYU professor Michael Dinwiddie. Unfortunately, three additional talkbacks planned as part of this engagement were cancelled due to COVID-19. For the third year in a row, we will continue artistic development under The Joanna & Steven Sanders New Works Program. This program offers tailored support to playwrights, librettists, and composers through every step of the creative process, culminating in a fully realized production. We continued developing SPLIT, conceived and book by Michele Lowe with music and lyrics by Zoe Sarnak, with a three-week workshop in July 2022. Further development of this piece will continue with an industry presentation this March 2023 in advance of its world premiere in 2023/24. We will conduct a reading of Michael John Lachiusas BEAUTIFUL JOLIE GABOR, HER GLAMOROUS THREE DAUGHTERS, and ALWAYS THE HAPPINESS IS LIFE. We will also present readings of Jack Cummings adaptation of MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW, and a newly commissioned play by Harrison David Rivers. This season, we will offer a series of concerts honoring great American musicals. In December 2022, we presented ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE: A STAGE ADAPTATION starring OBIE Winner Donna Lynne Champlin stars as George Bailey. Our annual Anne L. Bernstein Concert Series will take place in June 2023. The evening will include behind-the-scenes stories of each shows development process for its debut production, featuring special guests connected to the original stars and creators. WE WILL BE HOSTING OUR ANNUAL GALA CELEBRATION ON April 24th AT THE Edison Rooftop.This year we will honor Barbara Andres, Donna Lynne Champlin, Michele Pawk, and Mary Testa. We anticipate roughly 200 guests. 825311 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 44 0 true 90 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 18 18 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X Denise Dickens 2125640333 520 EIGHTH AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10018 JACK CUMMINGS III ARTISTIC DIR. 40.00 0.00 X 95000 0 1329 Denise Dickens Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 80000 0 0 LORI FINEMAN Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNY NIEDERHOFFER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEREMY MINDICH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 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 PETER MCKOWN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 IRENE CARNEY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL TINES BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY FRIEDMAN Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BENJAMIN D GOLDBERG LEGAL ADVISOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FRANCESCA JAMES BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 YAEL JEKOGIAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH L STEIN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LANCE BRIGGS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS MULLOOLY Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARGOT ASTRACHAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RHONDA ROSEN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOANNA SANDERS Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SARA LIND BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 175000 1329 0 false false false 0 190954 517984 708938 AUCTION 711110 28030 28030 COMMISSION 711110 500 500 JOURNAL ADVERTISING 711110 2750 2750 SHOW ADMISSIONS 711110 181828 181828 213108 475 475 0 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 922524 213583 3 0 0 0 0 176329 122550 8963 44816 0 293462 217362 54951 21149 0 49985 45803 1879 2303 50846 43036 6074 1736 0 0 10000 10000 0 0 0 30000 6000 24000 0 20585 11063 4958 4564 0 0 141166 136109 1313 3744 5491 5491 0 0 0 0 196 196 13331 12153 1127 51 PROFESSIONAL, ARTISTIC & ADMIN 101414 85560 7500 8354 PRODUCTION EXPENSE 91906 91906 HOSPITALITY & EVENT EXPENSE 32198 31810 388 PROMOTION 15217 12887 2035 295 8093 3581 3709 803 1040219 825311 102705 112203 321324 58532 0 126870 253800 0 0 0 0 0 45032 25780 1677 392 1481 1285 0 0 0 0 9334 3938 504041 343335 105059 53994 8054 105059 62048 X 328982 219287 70000 62000 398982 281287 504041 343335 -117695 X false true X true false X 840699 1610697 538722 274270 708938 3973326 0 0 840699 1610697 538722 274270 708938 3973326 435662 3537664 190 286 629 303 978 2386 0 85600 256877 342477 4318189 1041543 0.81920 0.83260 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1677 392 1285 1285 X 922524 922524 922524 1040219 1040219 1040219 Part X : FIN48 Footnote As of June 30, 2023, and 2022, the organization believes there were no uncertain tax positions.
