Program accomplishments
- Fresh Ground Pepper's 2024 season saw the successful completion of another round of each of our two most popular and long-standing theater development programs. The PlayGround PlayGroup artists who were selected by a competitive application process gathered monthly through the Spring to give/receive feedback on developing scripts. The process culminated in a live week-long series of evenings of performance that was well-attended by audiences supporting the work of 7 emerging playwrights and their casts and crews. In 2024 we were able to pay artists more and offer this program to audiences for free. Then in July/August 2024 we hosted 3-weeks of our annual FGP BRB retreat, welcoming artists to create, live, work, and cook together in a woodsy natural environment. This included an eco-week wherein we expanded our net to welcome art/performance projects with ecological and sustainability themes. This program houses 27 artists across the 3 weeks, plus hires guest facilitators who provide artists with fresh perspectives and skills to develop their processes. In addition to these annual programs, we held a Fall staff retreat day in which the FGP co-creative directors gathered for a day of reflection, teambuilding, and organizational planning for the future. And we hosted a holiday card making party to gather artists in creating and sending holiday cards to homebound seniors in Brooklyn.Expenses $44,194
