Overview

Mission

Our primary purpose is to produce quality stage productions, for the surrounding communities, that develops into a continued love and admiration of the arts and the performing arts.

What it reported doing in 2024

Usually four productions are performed using high school and college age students as well as adults from the local communities. Also, one production is performed using children from ages 4-18. Only the summer children's production has been able to be done since covid, and a summer camp and workshops have been added. Fremont stage 1 offers school district students practical theatre experience via their mentoring to promote a love for the arts.

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 99% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
