Programming highlights included three season productions: John Barton and Kenneth Cavanders HELEN, based on the play by Euripides, produced in the fall; Finegan Kruckemeyers THIS GIRL LAUGHS, produced in the winter; and Jeanine Tesori and Brian Crawleys VIOLET, produced in the spring. All three productions were presented both to paying public audiences and to audiences who may not otherwise have access to professional theater, through free community tours across the Twin Cities. The season received critical acclaim and the productions were received positively by audiences. In addition to our main production season, Ten Thousand Things re-developed educational programming for individuals experiencing incarceration, after a multi-year pause due to pandemic-related changes in staff and policies at our carceral partner facilities. We developed and led three semester-long theater courses: partnering with Scholars Serving Time to deliver a course in theater to women at Minnesota Correctional Facility Shakopee in the fall; working with Transformation and Reentry Through Education and Community (TREC) to deliver a course to men at Minnesota Correctional Facility Stillwater in the fall; and working again with TREC to deliver a course to men at Minnesota Correctional Facility Faribault in the spring. We also taught workshops at Ramsey County Corrections and Harmony Learning Center's ELL program. In total, we presented 104 shows, reaching 8,191 audience members, and led 50 workshops attended by 945 participants. We partnered with 24 community organizations to reach new audiences. We continued to increase our partnerships with correctional facilities across Minnesota throughout the season, while also serving audience members in the Twin Cities through partnerships with ELL centers, elder centers, youth-serving centers, rehabilitation centers, support centers for the unhoused, and organizations serving people with disabilities. Ten Thousand Things unique, bare-bones model of essentialized theaterperformed in the round, with all the lights on, minimal sets and live musicmakes it possible to tour directly into community organizations and paying audience venues throughout the Twin Cities and into Greater MN. 767891 true true false 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 false false false false false false false false true 30 0 true 34 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 17 17 false true false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA MN X X Stephanie Thompson 6122039502 1430 Concordia Ave 40216 St Paul MN 55104 Stephanie Thompson Managing Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 87445 0 0 Marcela Lorca Director 40.00 0.00 X X 51042 0 0 Caitlin Lowans Artistic Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 37391 0 0 JD Steele Director 2.00 0.00 X 5000 0 0 Regina Marie Williams Director 1.00 0.00 X 1237 0 0 H Adam Harris Co-Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kathy Kukielka Co-Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rachel Villa Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Chuck Roehrick Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kristin Aitchison Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hildy Bowbeer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sun Mee Chomet Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Gasparini Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mari Ann Graham Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amber Michel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Tane Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Tift Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 182115 0 false false false 0 165834 642919 808753 Ticket sales 174282 174282 174282 28644 28644 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1011679 202926 0 0 0 0 182115 100470 46840 34805 0 364273 299041 26010 39222 24070 21600 1095 1375 62074 56951 2271 2852 48436 35266 6534 6636 0 0 8119 406 7713 0 0 0 36996 36927 69 1181 1181 2002 800 601 601 2254 1127 1127 18053 18053 37838 36885 953 13389 13376 13 0 0 0 0 0 5077 2538 2539 Other production costs 84852 84852 Printing and Publications 17980 15067 1043 1870 Licenses and fees 13445 10756 2689 Other miscellaneous costs 13227 7542 5685 28491 25053 1513 1925 963872 767891 105568 90413 241782 168177 553861 664363 0 5089 11453 0 0 0 0 32379 28652 0 0 0 0 0 0 833111 872645 16263 7990 16263 7990 X 816848 834655 30000 816848 864655 833111 872645 47807 X false true X true false X 808181 735017 907228 980331 808753 4239510 678 116620 151314 171549 174282 614443 0 0 0 808859 851637 1058542 1151880 983035 4853953 65000 70000 70000 70000 80000 355000 0 65000 70000 70000 70000 80000 355000 4498953 1090 417 6517 16212 28644 52880 0 1090 417 6517 16212 28644 52880 0 0 809949 852054 1065059 1168092 1011679 4906833 0.91690 0.92210 0.01080 0.00540 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1012229 550 550 1011679 1011679 964422 550 550 963872 963872 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 3 The organization changed from a single-leadership model to a dual-leadership model during Fiscal Year 2025.
