Overview

Mission

Theater Education

What it reported doing in 2025

Our nonprofit organization is dedicated to offering accessible and enriching theater experiences to the community in Monmouth and its vicinity. We achieved this in 2025 by producing compelling stage productions featuring local talents and skilled direction ensuring quality performances for both adults and young audiences while keeping ticket prices affordable. Throughout the year we presented three main stage productions and ran second season programs. In the past year around 130 individuals participated on stage and behind the scenes in our Main Stage Second Season productions which were viewed by approximately 1000 patrons reaching a wide audience and fulfilling our mission to make theater engaging and affordable for all.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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.
