The Mainstage is American Stages core programming. We produced five Mainstage plays during our 23-24 season. These five plays were attended by 10,314 patrons. 23-24 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 14,953 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. 311109 0 124473 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 350+ students and 700 of their families and friends during Summer 2024. We also offered school residencies in the Pinellas County school system primarily via our Write On! and Write On!: Si Se Puede programs which work with students to develop original plays in elementary, middle, and high schools for the ESOL program Si Se Puede. 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. Our elementary students perform their own to enhance their English language and literacy skills. With a focus on historically under-resourced schools, Write On! & Write On!: Si Se Puede is a significant investment in the future of our community, in 23-24 we worked with 500 students. Our School Tour program in 23-24 was an original bilingual musical production that toured through county schools, reaching approximately 10,200 students. 2957431 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 117 0 true 118 true false false false false true true false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false FL X Allison Sapiega 7278231600 163 3rd Street North St Petersburg FL 33701 Anastasia Hiotis Chairperson 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Gina Clement Vice Chairperson 2.00 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 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 2.00 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 2.00 X 0 0 0 Joel Giles Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ebrahim Busheri Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Alford Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Helen Murray Producing Artistic Director 40.00 X 133000 0 1200 133000 0 1200 1 false false false 0 188469 236816 2400224 66690 2825509 Ticket Revenue 711110 859385 0 0 Workshops and Classes 711110 124473 0 0 983858 84452 0 84452 98678 98678 98678 0 0 98678 250516 188469 135592 114924 0 114924 92469 32351 60118 60118 Miscellaneous 711110 55816 55816 0 0 55816 4223355 1099792 0 298054 133000 93289 29201 10510 1527021 1071083 335265 120673 88958 62397 19531 7030 116596 81783 25599 9214 19850 0 14397 5453 22331 0 22331 0 467041 392536 54038 20467 279216 266048 9656 3512 18579 12723 5856 0 96290 96290 0 0 219125 119308 99817 0 72775 68045 4730 0 130452 0 130452 0 41243 26 41217 0 Production costs and materials 596267 595988 0 279 Bank fees 33639 0 33639 0 In-kind Expense 66690 66690 0 0 Miscellaneous 93655 31225 55001 7429 4022728 2957431 880730 184567 1118988 1591525 14650 77538 50552 2776668 1249742 1531970 1526926 2844821 3028647 51855 52948 3852 3852 5643674 6254450 137855 101303 301599 321723 439454 423026 X 2314345 2760535 2889875 3070889 5204220 5831424 5643674 6254450 200627 426577 X false true X true false X 0 0 2524460 1915287 2097071 1872060 2825509 11234387 668540 216749 1045117 1128476 1076327 4135209 0 0 3193000 2132036 3142188 3000536 3901836 15369596 100703 88222 24150 34745 15750 263570 0 100703 88222 24150 34745 15750 263570 15106026 55463 69663 72280 74599 84452 356457 55463 69663 72280 74599 84452 356457 22455 5750 51416 46736 55816 182173 15908226 0.94960 0.94420 0.02240 0.02150 X Pt III Ln 12 Other Income Part III, Line 12 Description: Miscellaneous 2019: 22455. 2020: 5750. 2021: 51416. 2022: 46736. 2023: 55816.

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 Organizations federal returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.
