Each season, ANW produces more than 180 performances across six classical works, reaching approximately 51,000 audience members, including 18,000 students and educators. ANW has earned numerous honors from theatre, arts, and business organizations in recognition of its artistic excellence, innovative leadership, and meaningful contributions to the cultural and civic vitality of Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles region. Reflecting this legacy, the Los Angeles Times has described ANW as "an oasis for those who love classic theatre." 1238909 178152 In a typical season, ANW's Education Program serves approximately 18,000 students and educators from nearly 200 schools across more than 40 school districts. The Education Program is made up of a carefully developed range of impactful theatre-based learning experiences, including:a. Student Matinees & Evening PerformancesWeekday matinees for student audiences are performed by the same professional cast seen in evening productions. Each experience includes a pre-show orientation, a full-length performance, and a post-show conversation with the artists, facilitated by ANW's Director of Education. Based on need and availability, participating schools may receive flexible scholarships that support ticket costs, transportation, and/or program fees.b. Study GuidesANW provides free, in-depth study guides to educators through its website. These resources help teachers animate classic texts and plays in the classroom by combining thematic and contextual analysis with activities tied to music, visual arts, and history, all aligned with California State standards.c. Professional DevelopmentEach year, ANW offers two no-cost professional development opportunities for educators. The late-summer Educator Extravaganza introduces teachers to the upcoming season and features workshops led by professional teaching artists. A second seminar is held in the spring and typically focuses on ANW's annual Shakespeare production. d. Workshops & ResidenciesANW's teaching artists lead experiential workshops that pair interactive exercises with close exploration of a play's language and themes. Workshops are typically one-day intensives, while residencies often span eight weeks, with artists teaching one or two classes per week. Programs are customized to meet the specific needs of each school or classroom and may be delivered in person, virtually, or through hybrid models.e. Summer With ShakespeareSummer With Shakespeare is a five-week theatre camp for students ages 6-18, offering hands-on experience with professional actors and technicians. Participants deepen their understanding of Shakespeare's verse while engaging with a range of classic plays. The program encourages young artists to grow as both scholars and performers, strengthening acting and public speaking skills, building confidence, and providing meaningful exposure to theatre-making.f. Relaxed PerformancesANW's sensory-friendly Relaxed Performances are designed to welcome patrons with Autism and other social communication and sensory processing differences. These performances feature the same professional cast and artistic quality as standard productions, while incorporating adjusted lighting, sound, and a more flexible audience environment. ANW is committed to making live theatre accessible to all and has been invited to advise organizations such as the Natural History Museum, the California Science Center, and The Huntington Library and Gardens on best practices for creating sensory-friendly experiences. 1318 560 ANW's community-centered initiative, Noise Now, brings together readings, adaptations, multi-disciplinary performances, dance, visual art installations, and nontraditional theatre through partnerships with forward-thinking organizations across Los Angeles. These collaborations often focus on developing or presenting work that uplifts communities of color, including projects that reinterpret traditionally white or Western narratives through a BIPOC perspective, explore global mythologies, or highlight cultures that have been displaced or historically marginalized.Audience data shows that Noise Now attracts a more diverse group than ANW's mainstage subscriber season, with higher participation from people of color, younger audiences under 30, and individuals from lower-income backgrounds. 3637299 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 42 0 1 204 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 23 21 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 CA X X X Jesse Perez 4073989395 3352 E FOOTHILL BLVD PASADENA CA 91107 William Kennedy President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Denise Jay Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Molly Bachmann Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Armando Gonzalez Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Julia Rodriguez-Elliott Co-Artistic Director 40.00 X X 136216 0 45500 Geoff Elliott Co-Artistic Director 40.00 X X 137423 0 45500 Julie Blackshaw Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Bogaard Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Toler Carr Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Malik B El-Amin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Israel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jay Lesiger Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Madden Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kasey Mahaffy Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Trisha Miller Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Terri Murray Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Nunes Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Roberts Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Schlegel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Randi Tahara Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shivani Thakkar Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joyce White Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leilani Jones Wilmore Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Douglas Love Manager Director 40.00 X 140705 0 0 414344 0 91000 3 0 1 0 0 258700 100000 2474329 169114 2833029 Ticket Sales 711110 1849168 1849168 Educational Programs 611710 178152 178152 2027320 77392 77392 30289 0 30289 30289 30289 11600 258700 30059 -18459 -18459 118276 30078 88198 88198 Other Income 900099 15144 15144 15144 5052913 2027320 0 192564 487578 315521 141993 30064 1469424 1270476 198948 18082 18082 194121 167091 15900 11130 191431 158183 14445 18803 147449 147449 2830 2830 14008 12607 1401 306982 296073 171 10738 75662 46136 5723 23803 19855 17870 1985 208228 187405 20823 4790 4311 479 354189 318770 35419 80687 77017 3670 Artistic and Technical 271317 271231 43 43 Production Supplies 185937 185937 Bank Charges 159318 127454 15932 15932 Royalties and Fees 87404 87404 128914 75731 53183 4408206 3637299 461446 309461 558063 334295 104126 50268 9920 3558 98016 79255 13889184 4365949 9714279 9523235 3416275 4727922 13846821 14772391 130920 153932 372942 365149 87978 80768 553962 673116 1145802 1272965 X 11432711 12184265 1268308 1315161 12701019 13499426 13846821 14772391 644707 153700 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2568413 4053258 1924382 2010285 2833029 13389367 124510 1173578 1429217 1855581 2027320 6610206 118276 118276 2692923 5226836 3353599 3865866 4978625 20117849 315218 245808 362485 116000 430031 1469542 0 315218 245808 362485 116000 430031 1469542 18648307 346 12095 47713 50898 107681 218733 346 12095 47713 50898 107681 218733 169271 219556 278843 221175 15144 903989 2862540 5458487 3680155 4137939 5101450 21240571 0.87800 0.87270 0.01030 0.00680 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12, Explanation of Other Income: Special Event Income Other Income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1172572 111136 52310 1231398 1044650 127922 1172572 912043 162046 29439 1044650 1000000 -87957 912043 0.81209 0.18792 0 0 2013000 2013000 11022800 3840222 7182578 828384 500727 327657 25000 25000 0 9523235 Deferred Compensation Liability 673116 673116 X 5203783 153700 153700 5050083 2830 2830 5052913 4405376 0 4405376 2830 2830 4408206 Part X, Line 2: The Organization is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is exempt from federal income and state franchise taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of IRC and similar provisions of the California Franchise Tax Code.
