Overview

Mission

To promote artistic expression and community spirit through live community theatre, by producing interesting, entertaining, and cultural plays, musicals, and other forms of entertainment for our public to encourage creative effort in theatre arts. We train actors, directors, producers, and technical personnel. As a community-based organization, we also provide support to other civic organizations and charitable needs by donating time, talent, expertise, materials and equipment. We provide a safe and much needed outlet for the community to interact, learn, and practice the performing arts at no cost.

What it reported doing in 2024

Stage crafters presented a total of 24 performances during the year as part of its mission to provide quality community theater. The season featured four mainstage productions: brighton beach memoirs, the mousetrap, the naked truth, and a gentleman's guide to love and murder. These performances engaged the local community, supported local talent, and promoted the performing arts.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 66% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
