Overview
Mission
The creation of exceptionally high quality, affordable, professional, non-profit theatre to engage and educate a diverse audience, both traditional and non-traditional.
What it reported doing in 2024
There were four main stage productions in 2024 with 52 performances.
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
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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
