Overview

Mission

The mission of The Biz Theatre Productions Inc is to provide experiential educational opportunities in theatre arts for youth of Central Indiana. This mission includes consistent, meaningful on-stage productions for children of all levels of ability.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024 the Biz Theatrical Productions put on six (6) shows (5 musicals and 1 play) using an average of 50 young people per show ranging in age from 8-17 years old. Each show required weeks of rehearsals culminating in several performances. All staff are professional singers and dancers who are minimally compensated for their time and expertise. Each show garnered an average of $13,550 in expenses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 93% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
