What Community Theatre of Greensboro Inc does
Mission
The community theatre of greensboro's mission is bringing our diverse community together to learn about, experience, and celebrate the joys of theatre. The organization's goal is to help everyone in our community share in the excitement of participating in theatre as actors, backstage crew, or audience members. The organization cherishes diversity, and non-traditional casting is a priority. Every year, ctg provides a wide assortment of theatrical entertainment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Producing main-stage and childrens theatre plays. Producing a variety of musicals and non-musical plays each year is at the heart of ctg's mission: "bringing our diverse community together to learn about, experience, and celebrate the joys of theatre." the way we bring our community together to "experience...the joys of theatre" is by providing outstanding theatre experiences for our community and by our community. The organization had participants involved in the plays and attendance reached 10,294. Every year we provide different kinds of productions that appeal to different kinds of performers as well as different audiences. By staging such a wide-ranging slate of shows, we are able to grow our pool of talented performers and build an ever-more-passionate cadre of theatre-goers.
$414,402 spent$250,569 earned by the program71% of program spendingOffering youth programs, including theatre classes and summer campsdeveloping young performers and giving them opportunities to build their skills is another key tenet of our mission. From ctg's perspective, it is imperative to give young people an outlet for "learning about...the joys of theatre." young people who take part in the arts do better in school and grow into stronger citizens, according to a recent study by the national endowment for the arts. And when a young person becomes involved with ctg, his or her entire family becomes part of the wider ctg family and becomes interested in theatre and in the arts. That's why ctg has consciously expanded our youth programs over the past few years. In addition to "general interest" classes and camps, we now offer very high-level acting and musical theatre classes and performance opportunities for experienced young performers from elementary school through high school. Many of the young people who were introduced to performing through ctg are now studying acting in college and performing in a wide variety of productions locally and across the country. 319 individuals participated in summer camps during the fiscal year

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $1.3M to $1.4M (+14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
18% of COMMUNITY THEATRE OF GREENSBORO INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
56% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COMMUNITY THEATRE OF GREENSBORO INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 52% · 2019 34% · 2020 26% · 2021 38% · 2022 22% · 2023 26% — diversifying over time.
