Since its beginnings, La MaMa has maintained an "Open Door" policy, welcoming artists of all cultures, ethnicities and identities. For more than 60 years, La MaMa has been a creative home for thousands of marginalized artists who have gone on to change the culture of American theatre. What started as a basement theatre with 15 seats has grown to encompass 88,000 square feet of dedicated art space in the East Village, consisting of four performance venues, three rehearsal studios, a visiting-artist dormitory, an art gallery, and an archive that documents the history of Off-Off-Broadway. Now under the artistic leadership of Mia Yoo, La MaMa supports approximately 1,500 artists annually and presents 50-70 full onsite productions in a typical season, more than half of which are either world or U.S. premieres. Over 60 years, La MaMa has introduced artists from 70+ different countries to American audiences. Artists in our season receive up to three weeks of free rehearsal space, a theatre with a light/sound package, marketing support, a production manager, front-of-house staff, ticketing services, and 50-60 percent of box office revenue. The only original Off-Off-Broadway theatre still in operation, La MaMa has received 30+ Obie Awards, dozens of Drama Desk, Bessie, and Villager Awards, and the 2018 Regional Theater Tony Award. 3099570 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true 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 true 70 0 true 133 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 16 14 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X MARY FULHAM 2122546468 74A EAST 4TH ST NEW YORK NY 10003 Mia Yoo Artistic Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 78728 0 9720 Mary Fulham Managing Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 71464 0 0 Frank Carucci President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joan Rose Vice President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Donald Capoccia Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Pinner Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Byung Koo Ahn Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eugene Chai Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Friedman Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Timothy Fulham Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Hall Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Malkenson Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wynn Salisch Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Luis Ubinas Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Wittman Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joel Zwick Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 150192 9720 0 false false false 0 210444 970846 1762671 2943961 Box office 711110 685951 685951 Gallery sales 711110 27089 27089 Workshops & symposiums 711110 163012 163012 876052 8550 189 8361 0 1385 1385 739820 739820 739820 739820 233647 234211 -564 -564 -564 34515 210444 34515 0 0 0 Merchandise sales 711110 2596 2596 2596 4571800 1619478 8361 X 0 0 0 0 161394 116253 21751 23390 0 1818631 1426779 187430 204422 0 124461 95681 14296 14484 165976 129242 17625 19109 0 741 741 10500 10500 58100 58100 0 0 552899 452114 78480 22305 30439 24477 2837 3125 40267 31899 3955 4413 0 0 438057 341588 46285 50184 12537 9767 412 2358 0 0 291450 291450 0 736457 56522 8074 671861 125078 97395 13282 14401 Programming expenses 317344 242668 71000 3676 Bank & credit card fees 84139 74950 4409 4780 Fundraising expense 17736 235 31 17470 Miscellaneous 11139 11139 625 625 4997970 3099570 550347 1348053 262458 286954 308434 97875 613587 442880 28341 28500 0 0 0 0 144772 86694 28137394 1799948 27031299 26337446 730514 72710 0 0 0 2198907 355152 31318312 27708211 131277 123713 162790 134047 6813100 3636071 33439 39114 7140606 3932945 X 23073550 22874796 1104156 900470 24177706 23775266 31318312 27708211 -426170 23730 X false true X true false X 4396706 3858395 9994097 6359258 2943961 27552417 992792 676955 858265 1133774 1618468 5280254 0 0 0 5389498 4535350 10852362 7493032 4562429 32832671 62600 442510 209700 714810 0 62600 442510 209700 714810 32117861 804 519 17294 9935 28552 0 804 519 17294 9935 28552 0 14279 452 14731 5390302 4535350 10867160 7510778 4572364 32875954 0.97690 0.98230 0.00090 0.00080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false false false false false false false false 2076800 785302 1291498 122888 30650 92238 64478 39761 24717 25873228 944235 24928993 26337446 Security deposit payable 39114 39114 X 4601056 23730 5526 29256 4571800 4571800 5003496 5526 5526 4997970 4997970 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.
