Overview

Mission

Our mission is two-fold: to provide local performers with outlets for creative expression; and to provide quality entertainment for audiences.we produced five shows in 2025. Our shows were little shop of horrors, talking with.., seussical kids, the addams family musical and an evening of short comedies. We continued the radio readers' theater in conjunction with pioneer 90.1 radio, a monthly drama that airs on 90.1 fm twice each month.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization provides theater productions to the community. Five productions were given in 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
