The season opener, Host & Guest, was a multi-awardwinningproduction that saw critical acclaim and was followed by the major critical and financial success of Dracula. Snow Maiden opened in December and represented the first new, major family show designed for touring, and that show has subsequently toured for hundreds of performances at schools and public performance spaces around the region. After the near fatal accident of Paata Tsikurishvili, the founder and CEO, the new production of War of the Worlds was postponed indefinitely, and replaced by a remount of the successful 2014 production of Beauty & the Beast, which went on to substantial press coverage, favorable reviews, and positive ticket sales. The season ended with Cyrano de Bergerac, directed by and starring audience favorite Vato Tsikurishvili. 286278 249098 Education and Outreach: Our education program reached 14,000 people in 2022-2023.

As of the current year end, the Organization had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in its information return that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in its financial statements. TheOrganizations policy would be to recognize interest and penalties on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. Through the fiscal year end, there have been no matters that would have resulted in an accrual for interest and/or penalties. Generally, only the three preceeding tax years are subject to examination by federal, state, or local taxing authorities.
