2007 Year-End Review

Finances

As with our productions and our people involvement, 2007 was a great year financially for the theatre too. More than 2/3 of our income since our inception (in 2005) has come in the last year.  Of course, with the expanded schedule and casts, more than 2/3 of our expenses have also come in the last year.  It is through the generosity of our audience members, donors, advertisers and sponsors that we are able to continue to bring professional-caliber theatrical productions to the St. Louis area.

The following specifics are based on our last fiscal year which ended August 31, 2007.  Of our $9,000 in total ticket sales almost $7,000 has come in the last fiscal year; of our $4,300 in total donations, approximately $1,800 has come in the last fiscal year; and of our total income of about $15,000, more than $10,000 has come in the last fiscal year.  On the flip side of the ledger, of our approximately $14,000 in total expenses, approximately $9,400 has come in the last fiscal year.  Many of those expenses were tied to our large production of Charlotte's Web for which we had to build a stage, purchase additional lighting equipment and purchase the food for the dinner.

While our income continues to grow, don't let that deter you from committing your support for the theatre in the coming year.  It is through our donations, advertisers and sponsors that we can continue to make our productions better through the years.  

In August, we set out on our most ambitious season yet...three mainstage productions (Winnie the Pooh, Tilly and A Christmas Carol) and our Second Annual One-Act Competition and Dessert Auction.  You can help make 2008 as excellent as 2007 through your donations and participation.

Thank you all for your continued support of this organization.  It is only through your support that we can continue to create professional-caliber theatrical productions for the whole family.
