What New Dawn Theatre Company does
Mission
New dawn theatre draws brillance out of shadows by illuminating and supporting cutting edge works of overlooked, under-represented communities of our theatrical landscape through innovative, exciting and excellent theatre production.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990-EZ.
Program
New Dawn Theatre Company is present in a time when there is need for more outlets that give a diverse body of artists the support and space to: create, be seen & heard, expand & transform in positive ways that radiate out into our communities at large. We are proud to be a vessel which amplifies a rising chorus of diverse, colorful & often muted communities of theater artists. Each season we breathe life into two established plays & one devised play. Our established plays (one straight play, one musical) reflect the body of our company, staff, board and varied communities we serve in that they are by, for & feature women, minorities and members of the lgbt communities. Our devised production is cultivated through empowering those communities that are physically, mentally or socially incarcerated to tell their stories through creative writing workshops. Our goal is to amplify vital yet muted voices, arm those who feel powerless with tools that affect change from within and outward.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
