Overview
Mission
To educate and build character through theatre and the performing arts. To enrich families, individuals and our community as a whole by providing positive artistic experiences in the performing arts.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, we held 7 productions including one play featuring only 8-12 year olds on stage and another featuring18 and under. All of our productions included youth actors and attracted youth in the audience with plays such asThe Lion King Jr, Seussical and Charlottes Web to encourage youth participation in the performing arts.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 73% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
