Overview
Mission
To be a greater resource to our community, nurture and elevate local artists, and inspire the next generation of theatre-goers.
What it reported doing in 2024
In FY25 116 performances were held in the Ellen Eccles Theatre to 77,379 patrons. These events included local resident companies (such as Utah Festival Opera and Musical theatre, Music Theatre West, Cache Valley Civic Ballet, Pickleville Playhouse, and Dance Source); nationally touring artists, presented by CacheARTS, and out-of-area artists that rented the theatre. Volunteer ushers donated 5,719 hours for these events.In FY25 four student matinees of CacheARTS Presents shows (Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents New Orleans Songbook, A Bee Story (2), and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago) were held with 3,360 students in attendance. National touring artist workshops and tours reached an additional 465 participants. 103 arts ed courses served 873 enrolled students and children in programs like ceramics, painting, drawing, and music. We provided 44 scholarships to programs at the Center, some organized by CacheARTS, some fiscally sponsored, and others from independent renters.

- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up.
