Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $24,874 spent. Into the Woods was an artistic and financial achievement, although expenses were almost equal to the financial gains. Approximately 30 people and/or organizations benefitted financially from this production, while approximately 800 community members attended the production.
- $18,229 spent. Merrily We Roll Along was an artistic achievement that involved approximately 30 individuals and/or organizations. Marketing was partnered with multiple other organizations in the community, as part of a collaborative "Spring of Sondheim." This production made renowned composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim's works accessible to hundreds of consumers in Dane County, across several months.
- $11,769 spent. Book of Days was an artistic achievement that involved approximately 30 actors, technicians, designers, and organizations. Although it was the smallest production in terms of community exposure, it brought the greatest number of new faces to our organization out of all our productions from the past summer. We also attempted to make this production more accessible to the community, by incorporating a sign language interpreted performance in our run.
