What Page Seventy-three Productions, Inc. does

Page Seventy-Three Productions, Inc. (d/b/a Page 73) is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) theater company founded in 1997 that develops early-career playwrights through a portfolio of programs and Off-Broadway productions. Its core offerings include the annual Playwriting Fellowship (a single recipient receives a $20,000 honorarium and $10,000 development budget), the Interstate 73 Writers Group (6-8 playwrights meeting biweekly), Off-Broadway world and New York premieres (2 per year), a Summer Residency, workshops and readings, the Launch docuseries documenting productions, and the New Play Map directory. The organization's stated model is to provide unproduced writers with a professional Off-Broadway debut alongside dramaturgical support, fair compensation, and transparent business practices.

Revenue is generated through a mix of individual donations (tiers from $50 to $1,000+), foundation grants (Howard Gilman Foundation, The Shubert Foundation, Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust, Prospect Hill Foundation), and government funding (NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and NYSCA), supplemented by gala fundraising and ticket revenue from co-productions with partners such as Playwrights Horizons, Working Theater, Clubbed Thumb, and MCC Theater. Page 73 maintains a small professional staff of approximately 5-8 members plus contractors, operates from an 80 Hanson Place office in Brooklyn, and has served 150+ early-career playwrights across its history. Notable alumni include Pulitzer Prize winners (Michael R. Jackson for A Strange Loop; Quiara Alegría Hudes for Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue as a finalist), and the company has received an Institutional Obie Award (2020) and a NY Drama Critics' Circle Special Citation (2019).
