Three prime examples of this were our ASL shadowed production, our Shorts program, and our sensory-sensitive performances. Our ASL shadowed production of Anne of Green Gables in November 2023 brought ASL interpreters onstage as part of the storytelling. Interns from UNC Greensboro's Programs in Deafness majors served as the interpreters and co-storytellers alongside the actors. The interpreters are brought onstage as part of the actions, instead of being off to the side, making theatre more accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing audience. Additionally, in 2023, there were three Deaf actors who performed the roles of the characters, signing for themselves, while hearing actors voiced for them and interpreted that sign language to the audience. One of these actors played the leading role of Anne, and it was a moving performance. Throughout the season, Studio 1 has had at least one performance of each of the mainstage shows professionally ASL-interpreted to make theatre more accessible. The Shorts program is a production of short skits performed by people of all ages and physical and mental abilities. It is known as a side-by-side theatre program. The rehearsals and the production calendar are shorter than traditional shows and allow time for building relationships that transcend the stage. If an actor needs special assistance to remember their lines or blocking, cast member friends become their "shadow and assist them by standing by their side. This provides opportunities for many in the community to experience the joy of theatre in a way that honors and encourages them.Additionally, each season the Studio chooses at least one production for which they offer a sensory sensitive performance where they invite individuals and their families with sensory sensitivities to attend a show designed to make them feel welcome, included, and part of the Studio 1 family. The production of Anne of Green Gables was a sensory-sensitive performance, and it was a joy to share the magic of theatre with those who might not typically attend theatre. The Studio 1 community strives to be inclusive and partners regularly with people with special needs in ways that are meaningful to all participants. Studio 1 has invested heavily in the arts in Alamance County. Executive Director Tami Kress as well as several other Studio 1 regulars have been involved in the local Community Conversation Arts Team. Alamance County is home to a vast array of artists and arts organizations who want to build bridges to bring our community closer together in purpose and need through connection, intention and exposure. This group is taking the lead in community arts conversations as part of the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation's Community Conversations initiated through Impact Alamance. It is made up of members from Alamance Arts, The Burlington Writers Club, Painted Grape, Studio 1 and Alamance Children's Theatre. Through hosting events at their space, organizing meetings, and getting to know other artists in the community, Studio 1 continues to lead in excellence in Alamance County Arts as they find ways to celebrate and lift up what is already happening in Alamance County.Studio 1 has continued their work at Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre (SCOT), revitalizing a beloved and historic Alamance County landmark. Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre has had years of performances, and its revitalization is encouraging those who have attended productions there in the past to return again as well as invite others to experience the historic Sword of Peace, Pathway to Freedom and other productions for the first time. Performances and events at Snow Camp both commemorate the history of the location itself as well as offer new and exciting opportunities (such as the Festival of Lights) to draw individuals and families to experience the joy of Snow Camp.Through employing local vendors such as food trucks and extending opportunities for local craftsmen and artisans to sell their goods, Studio 1 at SCOT is investing in the future of Alamance County, while also honoring its historic past. The 2023-2024 season marked Studio 1s first full season at the newly renovated SCOT, and it was a rousing success, drawing in new and old audiences alike to see a variety of shows. In April of 2024, Snow Camp welcomed over 600 patrons across three performances to experience a revitalized performance of Sword of Peace, a much beloved Alamance County tradition. The summer of 2024 at SCOT also featured two more productionsJoseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and A Midsummer Nights Dreamand there are exciting plans to build on the momentum seen in the Snow Camp community.The 2023-2024 season was an exciting year of community engagement for Studio 1 as we looked outward. 33584 68668 Main Stage: In the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Studio 1 continued to contribute to the growth of arts in Alamance County by providing quality artistic offerings in their performances and through active community engagement and service. The 2023-2024 season produced 4 mainstage productions (three musicals and one straight play) as well as two independent projects, one American Sign Language shadowed production, one side-by-side production, two summer productions, three summer camp productions, and one youth show. Throughout the season, Studio 1 received various awards and nominations for all that they have contributed to the local community. At the end of 2023, Studio 1 was nominated for several Broadway World Raleigh Awards. These awards are nominated and voted on by local theatre community members. Studio 1 was nominated in a number of categories, including individual awards for acting and directing and more. When the winners were announced, Studio 1 won Best Musical (Disaster!) as well as Best Performer in a Musical (Nevy Fisher in Disaster!) However, the most impressive award that Studio 1 received was the award for Favorite Local Theatre. It is evident that Studios local impact and reputation in the community continues to grow. The Studio 1 community is passionate about the work that the Studio does in providing unique and quality theatre in Alamance County.Throughout the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Studio 1 maintained their partnership with local community organizations, tying each one of the four mainstage shows to a community service project. During their production of Dogfight, Studio 1 collected resources to donate to the Allied Churches of Alamance County, an organization that works to end homelessness and food insecurity in the area. In connection to Anne of Green Gables, Studio 1 partnered with Alamance County Public Libraries to collect food and hygiene products for the "Little Free Pantry." In partnership with the show Lucky Stiff, Studio 1 supported the Humane Society of Alamance County by collecting dog and cat food products for HSAC's "No More Empty Bowls" program, which gives supplies to low-income families who need support in order to provide for their animals. For Theatre Now, Studio 1 organized groups to provide meals for residents of the SECU Family House at UNC Hospital which provides affordable housing for families of long-term patients at the hospital. Studio 1 summer camps colored placemats for Meals on Wheels to brighten up the deliveries for those in our community. Additionally, the Studio continued their partnership with Alamance County Public Libraries with their Lit to Life commitment producing at least one mainstage show every season based on a work of literature to inspire a love of good stories in the community.With the establishment of a Diversity Board made up of Studio 1 participants, Studio 1 is proactively looking for ways to amplify the voices of marginalized communities, including those of people of color and the LGBTQIA+ community. The Studio took part in the 2024 Alamance Pride Festival, hosting a booth at the busy event. The Studio provides a creative outlet and a safe and supportive environment for individuals from marginalized communities to express themselves and grow both individually and within a community. 13685 37123 Camps: In the summer of 2023, Studio 1 had 110 kids, ages 7-17, participate in 3 separate two-week summer intensive camps. They performed Matilda Jr., Aristocats Kids, and Mary Poppins, Jr. The Studio also offered a Tech Camp for students to learn the ins and the outs of the behind-the-scenes of a theatrical production and gain hands-on experience. The students had the opportunity to perform five shows over the course of a weekend for friends, family, and Studio 1 patrons. 13280 65318 313120 true true false 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 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 17 0 true 3 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 19 0 false false false false false false false false false false false true true true true true true false false false X Tamra Kress 3362693700 1853 Dunbar Place Burlington NC 27215 Tamra Kress Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 60100 0 0 Teresa Leiser Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wil Coulbourn Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erica Harris Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lora Wilder Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Phinney Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pat Holsclaw Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Dawson Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Brown Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Traven McClain Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Layla Micheo Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Noah Pieper Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carrie Sippy Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carli Webb Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Debbie Williams Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wayne Leonard President 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Earl Vice President 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Heidi Moner Secretary 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Gould Treasurer 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 60100 0 false false false 0 2075 130877 132952 Camp intensives revenue 711190 37123 37123 Classes revenue 711190 65318 65318 Performance revenue 711190 1851 1851 Ticket sales 711190 66817 66817 171109 9 9 0 0 0 0 75755 2075 61204 14551 14551 0 0 Concessions revenue 900099 11024 11024 Miscellaneous revenue 900099 21222 21222 Rent revenue 900099 4639 4639 500 500 37385 356006 208494 14560 X 0 0 0 0 45869 27521 18348 0 41683 41683 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11406 6321 5085 11797 11797 10238 10238 2264 2264 0 53766 53766 546 546 0 0 0 0 3211 3211 1402 1402 Snow Camp Other Expenses 33859 33859 Taxes and licenses 30886 30886 Performance expense 29244 29244 Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre Exp 18321 18321 72947 72947 367439 313120 54319 0 20595 621 11996 23747 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47148 18254 32104 28894 0 0 0 0 892 892 65587 54154 0 0 X 65587 54154 65587 54154 65587 54154 -11433 X false false false X 38980 68329 129426 128691 132952 498378 86171 64562 138422 154607 171109 614871 0 0 0 125151 132891 267848 283298 304061 1113249 0 0 1113249 2080 2562 4 15 9 4670 0 2080 2562 4 15 9 4670 977 103 1080 649 1911 17565 20441 37385 77951 128857 137467 285417 303754 341455 1196950 0.93010 0.95330 0.00390 0.00500 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 47148 18254 28894 28894 X X false Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre 59485 2075 57410 59292 DIVAS 6274 6274 235 65759 2075 63684 59527 59527 4157 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Studio 1 has consistently looked for ways to make theatre more accessible to those in our community.
