Manhattan Community Boards Join Forces on Off-Off-Broadway ProposalBy Thomas Riemschneider
January 21, 2010
Representatives from the arts and culture committees of the 12
Manhattan community boards met Thursday with Manhattan Borough
President Scott Stringer and agreed to work together to form a
tax-relief proposal for Off-Off-Broadway theaters.
According to a statement from the Innovative Theatre Foundation, the proposal would provide incentives to landlords offering performing-arts venues long-term below-market leases. This would affect approximately 50 theaters in the city that serve as performance spaces for more than 400 small theater companies and other performing-arts organizations. "We are so inspired by the dedication and camaraderie of the community boards," Shay Gines, executive director of the Innovative Theatre Foundation, said in a written statement. "Their thoughtful stewardship helps ensure that independent theater will continue to be a part of the vibrant culture of New York City."
