Overview
Mission
We are a non-profit community theatre organization, committed to involving community members in high quality and affordable productions in the Middleton and greater Dane County region. We offer opportunities for learning and growth to amateur performers, technical staff, and designers.
What it reported doing in 2025
Book of Days was an artistic achievement that involved approximately 30 actors, technicians, designers, and organizations. Although it was the smallest production in terms of community exposure, it brought the greatest number of new faces to our organization out of all our productions from the past summer. We also attempted to make this production more accessible to the community, by incorporating a sign language interpreted performance in our run.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 94% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
