Overview
Mission
CTSMDs mission is to support productions and classes that showcase and educate local talent while enhancing the artistic experience for all who participate, whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in the audience. We seek to foster, promote, and increase the public knowledge and appreciation of the arts and cultural activities in Southern Maryland, while developing opportunities for children in theatre arts.
What it reported doing in 2025
The organization's programming runs year round in various forms, primarily as main stage productions, summer intensives, and arts education classes. In 2025, CTSMD hosted two main stage productions for a total of twelve shows, three two-week summer intensive camps focused on students aged 8-12 and 13-18 including cast and tech crew development tracks, and monthly classes offered consistently throughout the year. In total, approximately 2,900 local individuals were engaged in theatre arts in 2025 thanks to CTSMD, whether it be as student performers, tech crew, teaching artists, or audience members.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 73% 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
