CONTRIBUTORS TO NEW DRAMATISTS

 

New Dramatists’ 2006-2007 season was made possible, in part, by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

 

Special thanks to The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust for supporting New Dramatists.

 

We try to be as accurate as possible in compiling this list. If you are aware of any errors or omissions, please contact Jennie Greer, Director of Institutional Advancement at (212) 757-6960, ext. 21, with corrections.

 

New Dramatists’ playwright development program is sustained each year by contributions from friends in the theatre community and through the generous support of public and private donors. The following individuals and organizations made possible our season’s events and activities, through contributions received from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006.

 

The playwrights, board of directors, and staff of New Dramatists extend our deepest thanks to all those listed below for their support of New Dramatists and our
