Overview
Mission
Community theater and concert venue
What it reported doing in 2025
During the 2025-2026 season, we held 73 concerts, which had a total of 2746 audience members, averaging 38 people per event, a 15% increase from the previous season. We continued presenting a variety of music genres, including folk, blues, americana, singer-songwriter, and rock. Performers include Michigan-based musicians as well as nationally touring artists. The theater venue continues to host Open Stage nights two or three times a month and a Songwriters group holds a monthly meeting once a month in the building.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 75% 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.
