We accepted applications, selected a resident playwright and provided workshops and an artistic team to develop their new work. We plan to continue this program going forward. Form 990, Part III, Line 3 We usually produce two MainStage programs, but lost key staff members in our third quarter of the fiscal year. Compensating for these positions put us in a position where it would not be wise to continue with our second MainStage production of the season. We decided to postpone that program to the following fiscal year and instead perform smaller one night only programs. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The return is reviewed by the Treasurer, Artistic Director, President and Secretary before filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents are available upon request. In Tax Year 2022 or Fiscal Year 2023, our managing director stepped down from their position as well as a volunteer Accountant/Previous Board member who oversaw our annual filing. Shortly after this our board president and board treasurer both experienced deaths in their family. After a hiatus, the board treasurer was able to file for an 8868 extension via mail. We were unaware that the extension we filed was not received or granted. Additionally we found that the managing director at the time had not been performing their role as bookkeeper for several months. As a result, time was needed to reconcile our accounts so we could accurately represent our financial information before filing our 990.
