Overview

Mission

City theatre is the city's theatre with a focus on one important goal: the continued excellence in stage performance and the desire to bring quality, commitment, and service to the central Texas theatrical community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Providing diverse, mainstream, and challenging theatre that is engaging and accessible to all audiences and artists in an effort to integrate the community and culture.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 78% 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

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.
