Overview

Mission

Provide Theatrical Presentations to Coshocton County

What it reported doing in 2024

Produced and performed 4 theatrical productions during the 2023-2024 fiscal year which were attended by approximately 5000 people and needed approximately 60 volunteers over the course of a year. Costs include scripts, production rights, costumes, set construction and props plus advertising each show

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. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
