The Musical Theatre Program is unique in that the emphasis is not on the perfection of the final performance, but rather the student's personal growth and development. It is a process and not a product-oriented program. Though recreational in scope, it is educationally and therapeutically based. The Organization's creative drama classes and theatre programs utilize the specialized skills of occupational, physical, recreational and speech therapists, as well as special education and theatre arts professionals. These professionals design and adapt the classroom activities and the final production to meet the individual needs of each student 77826 THE ADULT PROGRAM (18 YEARS AND OLDER) PUTS CREATIVITY INTO ACTION THROUGH IMPROMPTU STORYTELLING, CHARACTER TRANSFORMATION AND TEAM BASED PERFORMANCE.

The Organization did not experience a significant increase or decrease in the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Income tax returns filed by the Organization are subject to examination by tax authorities until November 15, 2028. Management believes that the Organization has appropriate support for all positions taken on its tax returns and that the annual tax provision includes amounts sufficient to pay any assessments of tax, interest, and penalties. Nonetheless, any amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of issues raised by taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year. false SPECIAL EVENTS 63714 53974 9740 9740 63714 53974 9740 9740 9740 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE FULL BOARD HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE 990 PRIOR TO FILING Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 ALL GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, FISCAL POLICIES, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION RETURNS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AT APPOINTED TIMES DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.
