Overview

Mission

The purpose of relative theatrics is to engage the community in dialogue about current issues through thought-provoking contemporary theatre that advances culture and the appreciation of the performing arts.

What it reported doing in 2024

Each year, realtive theatrics produces four mainstage productions, a series of readings of contemporary plays with scholar-led discussions, and free theatre events in our community. Relative theatrics also runs a literacy and arts education program in schools.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
