Our budget dollars:

While ticket sales are important, they only cover the plays themselves.  We still need the help of people like you to cover the general operating expenses that come with running a professional live theatre. Our 2017-18 Individual Donor goal is $281,893.  Our contributed income goal for the year is $517,393 of our total $1,025,273, or 50% of the 17/18 budget.
