The performance focus is interdisciplinary, combining traditional theatrical elements with original score, drama, mime, dance, puppetry, as well as environmental and visual installations. 0 0 163462 0 55259 Hip Pocket presented four world premiere plays: one written and directed by Johnny Simons, co-founder, in which he was the featured performed as well; one written and directed by his younger daughter, Lake Simons; one written and directed by his older daughter, Lorca Simons; and one written about host of the local children's show Slam Bang Theatre and directed by Granger Esch who also appeared the show. The fifth show of the season, a collaboration between Hip Pocket and Texas Christian University theater department, was the Greek tragedy, Electra, by Sophocles. There were 51 performances of these 5 shows between the first weekend in June and the last weekend in October, serving approximately 2,000 audience members with limited seating due to CDC-recommended safe distancing due to COVID-19. 0 0 0 Hip Pocket Theatre has an extensive outreach program which for 33 years has included weekly visits to Cook Children's Medical Center psychiatric units for Creative Expression workshops with their inpatient and outpatient populations. A second part of the outreach program involves performance/workshops in the elementary school system, called Story Soup which is an interactive program teaching children the basics of story writing based on the TEKS guidelines for first through third grades in English and literature. Unfortunately, in 2021 we were unable to go into either the school system or the hospital due to extended COVID-19 impact. 0 0 0 163462 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Peggy Kirby 8172469775 PO Box 136758 Fort Worth TX 76136 John T Simons Artistic Director 25 0 X 34650 0 10821 Quentin McGown President/Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Holly Ellman Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Christopher Blay Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Lauren Ivy Chiong Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Paul Hamilton Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Thad Isbell Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Nikki DeShea Smith Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 34650 0 10821 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2406 200899 203305 Ticket Sales 711110 40618 40618 0 0 Concessions 711110 14643 14643 0 0 0 0 0 0 55261 0 0 0 0 0 Refund of Tax Penalty 711110 2486 2486 0 0 0 0 0 0 2486 261052 57747 0 0 X 34650 25988 8662 0 9750 0 9750 0 10820 8115 2705 0 3397 1988 1409 0 10750 0 10750 0 32628 30123 1605 900 7133 3967 88 3078 16898 12673 4225 0 900 900 0 0 18741 14056 4685 0 20804 20777 27 0 11915 11870 45 0 2598 1948 650 0 Production Expenses 13547 13547 0 0 Concessions COGS 17510 17510 0 0 212041 163462 44601 3978 93678 151376 1802 263984 228788 19716 35196 117 115313 186572 0 0 1500 1500 1745 3019 3245 4519 X 112068 182053 0 0 112068 182053 115313 186572 49011 0 0 0 20974 0 X 0 0 0 X 152617 182431 179916 222114 200899 937977 27094 25411 31731 627 55261 140124 179711 207842 211647 222741 256160 1078101 88427 116721 107090 158185 132657 603080 88427 116721 107090 158185 132657 603080 475021 179711 207842 211647 222741 256160 1078101 0.44061 0.45123 0 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 16 The public support percentage was adjusted for 2020 to reflect the correct calculation of amounts received from other than disqualified persons that exceed 1% of the amount on line 13 for the year. There has been no significant change to the funding structure of the theatre, this is simply a correction in the calculation. Hip Pocket Theater is supported through smaller donations by many individual donors; however, they are also grant funded by 4-5 large foundations that provide significant funding for the theatres annual operating activities. Without the support of these foundations, ticket prices for productions would discourage the public from enjoying the unique productions Hip Pocket Theatre is known for.

Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g Production Labor (actors, musicians, technicians, etc.) - $30,123 Administrative Support - $1,605 Fundraising Support - $900 The organization had a long-standing relationship with the prior CPA, and in good faith believed that returns were being filed timely. In mid-2022, the CPA advised that the 2020 return was being filed late, but that the 2021 would be timely filed. The Board had no reason to believe that there were any issues with the relationship until subsequent phone calls and emails went unanswered regarding the 2022 return. The Board retained a new CPA to confirm previous filings and to timely file 2023 returns in early 2024. At that time, they were informed that a return had not been filed since 2020 and immediately moved to rectify the missing filings.
