Nonprofit Theatre
Nonprofit theatre refers to theatrical organizations that operate primarily to serve the community and promote artistic and cultural growth, rather than to make profits. Revenue from ticket sales, donations, grants, and memberships support their mission, which often includes education, outreach, and presenting diverse productions. Surpluses are reinvested into the organization to improve facilities, develop new work, and expand access. These theatres often focus on innovative, experimental, or community-centered programming, aiming to enrich cultural life while prioritizing artistic integrity and community engagement over profit motives.
