Our approximately 200 members, located throughout the U.S. and abroad, are some of the leading producers of musical theatre in the world. Our members represent a diverse cross-section of the theatre community and include regional theatres, presenters, higher education groups, developmental organizations, and individual producers, with budgets totaling over $680,000,000. Last season, the NAMT members collectively: - Employed nearly 30,000 administrators and artists - Staged more than 13,000 performances attended by over 5 million people - Entertained over 410,000 loyal subscribers - Provided education programs for half a million students and teachers - Had operating budgets totaling more than $650 million - Performed in 270 venues with a total of 140,000 seats - Performed in 270 venues with a total of 140,000 seats false false 686008 71250 130915 NEW WORKS PROGRAMS Festival of New Musicals: The 36th Annual Festival of New Musicals had a record-breaking attendance of NAMT members and other industry professionals and artists across registrations for Premiere, Select, Access and General passes as well as limited Festival writer Show-Only comp registrations and walk-up registrations. Over 875 attendees from all over the world joined us at New World Stages on October 24th & 25th, a 15% increase in attendance with over 115 more visiting the event than in 2023. New to the Festival programming slate, Fest 2024 featured a new afternoon supplemental event with the Festival Roadtrips, which highlighted member programs at Village Theatre, Goodspeed Musicals, Red Mountain Theatre & Theater Latt Da. This was well-received, notwithstanding the inherent obstacle of midday programming. Musical Theater Songwriting Challenge for High School Students: The 2024-25 Musical Theater Songwriting Challenge, a partnership between NAMT and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), successfully provided high school students with the opportunity to develop and showcase their original musical compositions. Throughout the program, students participated in online workshops, received constructive critiques from experienced musical theater professionals, and engaged in group coaching sessions to refine their songs. The Challenge culminated in the selection of winning writers and writing teams in Spring 2025, who were invited to New York City for mentorship and a concert performance of their songs in June. This initiative helped foster the next generation of musical theater songwriters and highlighted NAMT's commitment to nurturing young talent. Frank Young Fund for New Musicals (FYFNM): Over the past year, the Frank Young Fund awarded 20 grants totaling $80,000 to NAMT member not-for-profit theatres. Since its inception in 2008, the Fund has awarded 257 grants totaling $1,000,500 to support new work at every stage of development, from writer residencies to full productions, with selections made by a panel of experienced musical theatre professionals. Impact & Exploration Fund (I&EF): NAMT's Impact & Exploration Fund is designed to help NAMT member theatres pilot new capacity-building programs to advance their missions. Areas of exploration may include (but are not limited to) technology, accessibility, audience development, education, and artistic innovation. Grant recipients must report the results of their funded programs to the rest of the membership, helping others who may be considering similar innovations. This past year, seven I&EF grants were awarded, totaling $25,000 to member not-for-profit theatres. 385540 22000 339599 MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMS Conferences: Both educational and inspiring, our national conferences are opportunities for member organizations to interact, collaborate, and share ideas on the latest trends in musical theatre. The 2024 Fall Conference was held in New York, NY on October 22 & 23, 2024, and was entitled "Reboot & Regroup." Maybe the most important musical theatre networking event of the year, the 2024 Fall Conference explored the most pressing issues around new work production and development, as well as the state of the industry more broadly. Just as importantly, it provided a community for leaders of theatres from all over the country and the world to share best practices, brainstorm and support one another. The conference also included networking opportunities, such as a cocktail party and the NAMT Annual Membership Meeting. The 2025 Spring Conference, entitled "Backstage to Box Office: Building Better Branding," was held at Red Mountain Theatre in Birmingham, AL on April 9-11, 2025, where we hosted in-depth sessions on marketing best practices, innovations and the state of the field. In addition to panels, breakouts and speakers, the Spring Conference featured plenty of networking time to network, great food, and visits to some of Birmingham's top attractions. Conference topics included managing your organization-wide messaging and collaborating across departments, subscriptions and data analysis, social media case studies, new technological tools, case studies through an entire ticketing cycle, alternative revenue streams, and marketing's role in accessibility and community engagement. Webinars: NAMT continued to expand its virtual programming, offering a robust slate of webinars to inform, connect, and support its membership. A key addition was the launch of Conference Continued, a new monthly series of online roundtables designed to dive deeper into topics raised during NAMT's in-person conferences. This inaugural year featured conversations on co-productions, commercial enhancement, care for artists, and innovative approaches to the enhancement model. NAMT also hosted informational webinars to support applicants for the Writers Residency Grant and the new Impact & Exploration Fund, providing transparency and guidance throughout the application processes. Additional online offerings included two Town Halls-one announcing the 36th Annual Festival of New Musicals writing teams and another preparing first-time attendees for NAMT's Fall events. Together, these webinars helped extend NAMT's reach and deepen member engagement year-round. NAMT News & Notes: NAMT News & Notes provides topical industry information to all members and Festival alumni writers. It is sent monthly via email. The Table Read: Launched in April 2023, NAMT's New Works Department newsletter, The Table Read, features articles on and interviews with NAMT Festival/Grantee writers and NAMT members, as well as new interactive media inclusions like New Works Department Spotify playlists and more video and audio content. The Table Read has a readership of ~7,500, with an average open rate of 54% and an average click rate of 10%. Website: NAMT's website, www.namt.org, remains our primary communication tool with members, donors, writers, prospects, and the industry at large. It includes Festival information, updates on other NAMT programs, member information, and more. Some sections require a login and are limited to members or Festival alumni writers, including a detailed member directory, member production histories, a complete directory of Festival and Frank Young Fund for New Musicals shows and their writers, and discount offers and corporate partnerships. The website also includes our Set & Costume Registry, through which members can earn revenue by renting sets, costumes, props, and orchestrations. Since 2019, we have expanded our web-based resources to include the New Musicals Map, an interactive tool that allows members and the public to keep abreast of new musical development happening worldwide; the Impact & Exploration Guide, a compilation of case studies, videos, and grant reports outlining valuable lessons and best practices from NAMT members and other experts; and EDI and Anti-Racism Resources shared among our members and other partners. The site also houses recordings of webinars and online town halls and serves as a central hub for information, upcoming events, member benefits, and all things NAMT. In FY24, NAMT implemented a redesign of our homepage and main navigation menus to drive engagement and improve clarity. Research Services: NAMT conducts industry surveys on subjects such as salaries, benefits, and royalties, sharing the findings with our members. 1071548 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 64 0 15 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 19 19 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X BETSY KING MILITELLO 2127146668 520 EIGHTH AVENUE SUITE 301 NEW YORK NY 10018 Betsy King Militello Executive Director 40.0 0.0 X 142054 0 14325 Hillary Hart President 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Jaquess Vice President 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Eric Keen-Louie Vice President 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Anthony Rodriguez Treasurer 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Mac Ingram Secretary 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Kwofe Coleman Immediate Past President 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Bill Berry Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Brannon Bowers Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Snehal Desai Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Rick Edinger Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Sharon Fallon Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mark Fleischer Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susanna Gellert Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ray Hogg Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Brandon Huldeen Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kappy Kilburn Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Soren Moller Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Matt Morrow Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ashley Wells Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 142054 0 14325 1 false true false 0 295000 552136 847136 MEMBERSHIP DUES 711110 339599 339599 CONFERENCE & FESTIVAL FEES 711110 130811 130811 470410 3892 3892 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 711110 104 104 104 1321542 470514 3892 93250 93250 0 0 0 175744 123022 14059 38663 0 356452 246485 30031 79936 0 62702 49269 5915 7518 40873 28366 3392 9115 0 0 17668 17668 0 0 0 0 10098 10098 31709 29577 745 1387 0 0 74211 56400 6679 11132 52715 49234 208 3273 0 20009 19342 250 417 0 0 3757 2856 337 564 11570 8794 1041 1735 ARTISTIC & OTHER PROF.
