The Mainstage is American Stage's core programming. We produced five Mainstage plays during our 22-23 season. These five plays were attended by over 13,000 patrons. 22-23 also continued our American Stage in the Park, a more than 30 year old community tradition. This five week event was held at Demens Landing Park in downtown St. Petersburg drew 18,000 patrons. In order to make theatre accessible to all, both our Mainstage and Park shows had significant ticket discounts for seniors, students and active duty military, with some eligible for free tickets. Our Lift Every Voice New Play Festival was held in March 2023, featuring new works by playwrights from across the nation focusing on a diversity of storytelling. 298934 0 95906 Education: Our education and outreach department serves adults and children through our Drama School with on-site classes in acting, musical theatre and improv (250 students served). Additionally, we offered 8 weeks of Summer Camp for children of all ages. Each week leads to a sharing performance for family and friends. We happily hosted 700+ students during Summer 2023. We also offered school residencies in the Pinellas County school system primarily via our Write On! program which works with students to develop original plays. This playwriting course taught by our experienced Teaching Artists culminates in those plays being read by professional actors in class which allows for further play development. With a focus on historically under-resourced schools, Write On! is a significant investment in the future of our community, in 22-23 we worked with 300 students. Our School Tour program was live and in person in 22-23 and this bilingual production toured through county schools, reaching approximately 5000 students. 2773146 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 116 0 true 115 true false false false false true true false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false FL X Anthony Winter Brown 7278231600 163 3rd Street North St Petersburg FL 33701 Anastasia Hiotis Chairperson 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Will Hough Vice Chairperson 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Trevor Wells Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Gina Clemens Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Alistair Flynn Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dex Fabian Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sherri Smith-Dodgson Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Weldon Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alais Griffin Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cathy Swanson Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Walker Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joel Giles Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Helen Murray Producing Artistic Director 40.00 X 130000 0 6829 130000 0 6829 1 false false false 0 71650 261938 1538472 108600 1872060 Ticket Revenue 711110 929125 0 0 Workshops and Classes 711110 95906 0 0 1025031 74599 0 74599 445811 516260 -70449 -70449 0 0 -70449 158355 71650 82687 75668 0 75668 103445 41062 62383 62383 Miscellaneous 711110 46736 46736 0 0 46736 3086028 1134150 0 79818 130000 94697 28090 7213 1414991 1030731 305752 78508 118247 86135 25551 6561 118192 86095 25539 6558 20900 275 17992 2633 21265 0 21265 0 403528 357400 40746 5382 261205 242760 13167 5278 11973 8656 3317 0 44255 582 38098 5575 91155 90060 1095 0 235954 140275 95679 0 60134 54521 4947 666 94105 89602 4503 0 38338 24128 14210 0 Production costs and materials 418977 414483 4494 0 Bank fees 33297 10 33287 0 In-kind Expense 36950 36950 0 0 Miscellaneous 55760 15786 35727 4247 3609226 2773146 713459 122621 1655933 1118988 11448 14650 172516 77538 2651261 1119291 1470754 1531970 2622151 2844821 39823 51855 3578 3852 5976203 5643674 157603 137855 387915 301599 545518 439454 X 2754504 2314345 2676181 2889875 5430685 5204220 5976203 5643674 -523198 296733 X false true X true false X 0 0 1269282 2524460 1915287 2097071 1872060 9678160 1989702 668540 216749 1045117 1128476 5048584 0 0 3258984 3193000 2132036 3142188 3000536 14726744 86220 100703 88222 24150 34745 334040 0 86220 100703 88222 24150 34745 334040 14392704 55989 55463 69663 72280 74599 327994 55989 55463 69663 72280 74599 327994 62388 22455 5750 51416 46736 188745 15243483 0.94420 0.93070 0.02150 0.02060 X Pt III Ln 12 Other Income Part III, Line 12 Description: Miscellaneous 2018: 62388. 2019: 22455. 2020: 5750. 2021: 51416. 2022: 46736.

If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainities of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The Organization has identified its tax status as a tax-exempt entity as its only significant tax position; however, the Organization has determined that such tax position does not result in the uncertainity requiring recognition. The Organization is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. The Organization's federal returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.
