About the company
Northlight Theatre Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Evanston, Illinois, is a federal grant recipient that receives project grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to support theatrical productions.
Northlight Theatre operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards) with no federal contract footprint. The organization serves a single federal customer: the National Endowment for the Arts, which has issued eight grants since 2015 with combined dollars obligated of $388 thousand. Recent grant work includes support for the production of "Mary Jane" by Amy Herzog (awarded January 2026, completion March 31, 2026), "Twisted Melodies" by Kelvin Roston Jr. (awarded June 2025, completion September 30, 2025), "The Heart Sellers" by Lloyd Suh (awarded June 2024, completion May 31, 2025), and "Marie and Rosetta," a play by George Brant (awarded June 2023, completion December 31, 2023). All grants are structured as project grants tied to specific theatrical productions rather than operational or capacity-building support.
Activity is sparse and episodic: one award per year across 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, following a gap from 2020 through 2022. No recompete exposure or upcoming cliff exists in the traditional sense; the organization's grant profile remains tied to production-by-production project funding from NEA rather than multi-year standing awards or contract vehicles. Northlight Theatre has no involvement in federal contracting, IDIQs, GWACs, or teaming arrangements with federal contractors.
