Overview
Mission
Restoration of landmark theatre and operation for movies, live performances, rentals and other events.
What it reported doing in 2025
Movies for the community. Movies are shown in partnership with the Adams County Library. Total of 60 days/evenings on which a movie was shown. Students & adults attending = 2,274. 263 volunteers staffed events. Major cost in 2025 was replacing the original movie screen and installing a retractable screen.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
