Overview

Mission

Green T inspires, expands horizons and challenges assumptions with creative physical performance that straddles the boundaries of music, dance and theater.

What it reported doing in 2016

In 2016, with funding from the Minnesota Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Green T Productions re-mounted the 2009 production Tales from Rashomon at the Historic Mounds Theater in St. Paul. Throughout the spring GTP raised funds to take a show from the previous season, Kaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things to the FURYFactory Festival of Ensemble Theater in San Francisco. GTP traveled to and performed at the Festival in June. Sumunar Indonesian Music and Dance hired GTP to assist with the production of an all-night puppet, dance and music performance of Indonesian Wayang performed as part of Northern Spark. In July and August, GTP, along with Sumunar, performed Shadow Visitors: A Minnesota Adventure, the shadow puppet play that had been created in the previous season with funds from the Knight Foundation. The show toured to Como Dockside, MN History Center, St Paul Academy and the Episcopal Church Home in St. Paul. For the fourth year, GTP performed at the Minnesota State Fair in the Minnesota State Fair Association's Arts A'Fair. In September, GTP performed a workshop performance of Rootabaga Pigeons, an original musical theater piece by Miriam Gerberg, funded by the MN State Art Board through an Artist Initiative grant. Also in 2016, GTP was accepted into and began participation in ArtsLab, a leadership and strategy development program of Arts Midwest.During 2016 Green T accrued $55,155 in in-kind labor from 17 artists and professionals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
