About NEW MUSIC THEATRE PROJECT INC

New Music Theatre Project (NMTP) is a New York–based 501(c)(3) arts organization that commissions, develops, and presents original works where music and theatre intersect. NMTP (founded 2011) emphasizes an intensive development process—commissioning, workshops, and public presentations—and shifted under Artistic Director Chris Dieman (named Artistic Director in 2020) to focus on intimate, content-driven chamber pieces and new-music theatre projects.

The organization is a registered tax‑exempt charity (EIN 47-1833118) with a recent series of Form 990 filings and publicly reported finances (2024 revenue $66,457; net assets $14,032).
