Overview

Mission

Huron Station Playhouse's mission is to champion new voices in theater and film, and provide education and access to the surrounding area by connecting local artists and students from a historically working-class neighborhood to creative professionals from the highest echelons of the entertainment industry. Through new plays, writing workshops, acting classes and evenings of creative education, we hope to revitalize theater in Los Angeles while providing opportunities to the next generation of writers, actors and filmmakers.

What it reported doing in 2024

Huron Young Adult Education Programming: HSP served 23 young adults in the community. In our "Youth Acting Class", the inaugural acting class consisted of 20 15-20 year old students. The class ran for 10 days (4 hours per day) with students preparing scenes from contemporary plays for the final free performance for friends, family and 3 industry professionals who provided constructive feedback. The cost of the program was $100 per student, with 4 students receiving full scholarships and 3 more receiving a partial scholarship. The goal of the program was to provide students with a high quality summer acting education program without a financialbarrier to entry.

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

SUPPORTED - 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.
