Overview
Mission
Limelight theatre company is dedicated to sustain, encourage and promote the theatrical arts providing opportunities for new, emerging and seasoned artists, and to educate the public with relation thereto.
What it reported doing in 2019
Production of one theatrical musical providing paid acting positions to adult performers and educational opportunities for more than 20 students. Twelve performances were presented to a public audience exceeding 840 in total. Two ancillary fundraising cabarets were produced. Educational classes to help our belief that everyone deserves a chance to "step into their limelight".
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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
SUPPORTED - 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
