Overview
Mission
Connecticut Theatre Exchange exists to bring together theatre artists from various backgrounds and identities to support their process of developing new projects and new skills in a nurturing environment that is both accessible and affordable. We do this by: Offering residencies for playwrights and screenwriters and their teams in various forms of development. Providing low-cost residencies to existing ensembles to experience an uninterrupted and deeper developmental rehearsal process. Giving space and time for professional artists to study new skills and new ideas, contributing to their artistic process. Garnering resources for historically under-represented or under-supported populations and actively identifying ways to remove barriers to the CTX experience. Welcoming the public to free showings of new work and inviting curated feedback. Programming a variety of free or low-cost workshops of exploration of the artistic process. Developing partnerships with organizations.
What it reported doing in 2025
Produced three play readings in partnership with The Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens, free of charge to the public.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
