Overview

Mission

Little Theatre Off Broadway strives to give artists a place for artistic and technical expression through theatre performance and to provide the community with opportunities to experience the performing arts. LTOB is committed to producing quality shows that provide our audiences with outstanding programing and is focused on growing our attendance by providing reasonably priced and easily accessible programing to our loyal audiences. We are in the process of selecting the dramas, comedies, and musicals for the 2023-2024 season from a pool of proposed shows, which includes On Golden Pond, RENT, Baskerville, Much Ado About Nothing, The Psychic, Big Fish, and Something Rotten. We will focus on audience favorites, with at least two family-friendly shows, ensuring strong attendance and supporting our ongoing goal of fiscal responsibility. We also endeavor to include at least one lesser-known play each season, supporting LTOB's goal of bringing new programing to our audiences.

Little Theatre Off Broadway is invested to create a beautiful home in the heart of Grove City that welcomes all to the world of theatre. This program helped make our building more inviting, thus making our community more inviting, and insuring the building will stand for generations to come.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
