Overview

Mission

Ensemble theatre community school's mission is to provide a summer theatre education program for high school students and young people in the eagles mere surronding area, as well as provide performances for the public in the eagles mere area.

What it reported doing in 2012

Summer school for the theatre arts. The summer school took a year off, and therefore the program service expenses represent upkeep to the summer school, and production house.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

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