Overview

Mission

CastleCo Theatre's mission is to increase theatre access by producing live stage shows that connect every age and stage of life. Between Sept. 1 2021 and August 31 2022 CastleCo Theatre upheld its mission by providing theater arts programing which engaged 11,416 participants in theater arts activities as staff students performers and audience members.

What it reported doing in 2021

CastleCo Theatre engaged community members primarily residing in Dakota County MN in theater arts activities through the production of three full-length theater productions. Productions had a combined total of 408 actors ranging in age from 5-65+ and 10,988 audience members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 77% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
