Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $81,915 spent. 2025 allowed the organization to work to expand our footprint in the community and offer our services to over 500 children and young adults from ages 5 and up! More than the organization ever has before! This was achieved through 17 productions including musicals, master classes, and Theatre Summer Camps for three separate age groups which has allowed us to offer scholarships to underserved and at risk youth and young adults in the Northern Colorado community. Additionally a mentorship program was created that has allowed young adults to build needed skills in acting, directing and technical operations of a theatre production to help them grow and move on to bigger and better things that lay ahead!
