Overview
Mission
We are a local non-profit 501(c3) community theatre that leases a space from the city to put on theatrical productions.
What it reported doing in 2025
We are given a $5,000 organizational grant by the Mesquite Arts Council to use in whatever way we use to enhance our theatre and to cover production costs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
