Overview

Mission

To be a leading arts organization in Northern Arizona, offering high-quality live theatrical productions and educational opportunities, utilizing a diverse base of talent which represents and reflects the community at large.

What it reported doing in 2024

COMMUNITY BASED THEATRETheatrikos Theatre Company seeks to bring both the very best of live theatre to the Flagstaff stage and to provide outstanding theater education for youngsters through our Theatrikds program. Although like many theaters, Theatrikos experienced drastic attendance reductions during the most severe Covid years of 2020 and 2021, unlike many community theater companies that closed their doors, Theatrikos survived through a combinaation of extreme frugality and innovative programming. Our attendance has grown since 2021, and in 2024, we averaged 73% capacity attendance for our season. These shows also exhibtited strong production values and laid the groundwork for an even more successful 2025 season. Our Theatrikids program also reached near capacity in 2024, including adding an additional performance camp over the December Holiday break. We believe--and the numbers support--that Theatikos is poised for strong and sustained growth, anchored by a dedicated corps of volunteers, increased donorship, and excellent leadership.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 75% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
