Overview
Mission
Bring community theater back to Medford, MA, celebrating the art form and the friendships that make it possible.
What it reported doing in 2025
The group put on a cabaret, a Shakespeare in the Park performance, a spooky play festival, and participated in a local community show and caroling and multiple spots around town. We received a $1000 grant from Middlesex Federal Bank in FY25, and a $3000 reimbursement grant to be used in FY26.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 81% 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
STRONG - 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.
