Play Productions: Six per year plus an annual awards ceremony. In 2025 approximately 1,725 patrons attended live theater performances that included a mix of comedies dramas and musicals presented by our members and local volunteer talent.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
