Overview

Mission

To provide live, community, family-oriented theatre

What it reported doing in 2025

Our summer youth program is designed to introduce children, ages 7 to 17, to all aspects of live theater production. These children learn a wide variety of theatrical skills, including auditioning, acting, singing for musical theater, choreography, costuming, make-up, backstage skills, set construction, lighting and sound boards during the shows. There was a numerous students who were in one play during the summer; some continued on to perform in the other plays.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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.
