Overview
Mission
Blue Butterfly Productions strives to foster a sense of inclusivity using the power of the arts to bridge people together and positively impact lives through educational experiences and theatrical performances of the highest quality.
What it reported doing in 2024
Theatre education - we offer theatre classes for adults with disabilities in the fall and spring every year. These classes serve over 60 adult theater students who have disabilities and are taught by highly qualified teachers with strong backgrounds in the theater arts, and experience with adults with disabilities. Our classes include theatre 101, musical theater, advanced musical theater, improv acting, advanced improv acting, shakespeare studies and hand drumming. From june through september we are in rehearsal for our fall musical. We hold classes in clearwater, largo and tampa. We've had requests to offer classes in sarasota and south st. Petersburg and hope to add those in the future.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 65% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
