STARLIGHT STRIVES TO ENRICH THE KANSAS CITY REGION FOR ALL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS BY BUILDING APPRECIATION FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS, MAKING LIVE THEATRE AND MUSIC AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE, PROVIDING SUPERIOR ARTS EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS, AND DELIVERING EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. A BELOVED KANSAS CITY CULTURAL TRADITION, STARLIGHT DEVOTES SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO PRESERVING AND ENHANCING ITS HOME VENUE IN SWOPE PARK AND CREATING NEW MEMORIES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. PRESENTING LIVE BROADWAY THEATRE SINCE 1951, THE NONPROFIT STARLIGHT THEATRE ASSOCIATION IS KANSAS CITY'S OLDEST AND LARGEST PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATION. THE ASSOCIATION OPERATES, PROGRAMS AND MAINTAINS THE LARGEST OUTDOOR STAGE IN THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL AS THE 16-ACRE STARLIGHT THEATRE COMPLEX. THE THEATRE SEATS APPROXIMATELY 8,000 AND IS LOCATED IN SWOPE PARK, THE LARGEST PARK IN KANSAS CITY. WHILE FUNDING ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS OF $816,192 FOR THE STARLIGHT VENUE, THE ASSOCIATION ALSO RAISES FUNDS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS, INCLUDING BROADWAY MUSICALS, CONCERTS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SINCE 2000, THE ASSOCIATION HAS CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN $31 MILLION OF PRIVATELY FUNDED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE KANSAS CITY, MO.-OWNED STARLIGHT THEATRE, OFFSETTING LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL LOADS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, STARLIGHT RECORDED OVER $1.41 MILLION OF DEPRECIATION EXPENSES RELATED TO THE THEATRE FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND OFFICES. STARLIGHT IS A FREQUENT RECIPIENT OF LOCAL, NATIONAL AND EVEN INTERNATIONAL AWARDS AND RECOGNITION. IN 2013, STARLIGHT WON THE PRESTIGIOUS VENUE EXCELLENCE AWARD FROM THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF VENUE MANAGERS. HONORS IN 2020 INCLUDED: BEST LIVE MUSIC VENUE (OVER 1,000) - THE PITCH BEST OF KC AWARDS; BEST LIVE THEATER - THE PITCH BEST OF KC AWARDS; BEST OUTDOOR VENUE - THE PITCH BEST OF KC AWARDS; INGRAM'S BEST OF THE BEST WITH 19 TOTAL GOLDS; BEST LIVE THEATER VENUE - KANSAS CITY MAGAZINE'S BEST OF KC; AND BEST OUTDOOR MUSIC VENUE - KANSAS CITY MAGAZINE'S BEST OF KC. STARLIGHT TYPICALLY BENEFITS FROM STRONG TICKET SALES AND ANCILLARY REVENUE FROM PARKING AND CONCESSIONS AND HAS NOT RELIED HEAVILY ON CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS OR GOVERNMENT SUPPORT. IN 2020, WITH ALL BUT THREE PRODUCTIONS CANCELLED, THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF STARLIGHT'S ANNUAL REVENUE WAS ELIMINATED. WITHOUT REGULAR PROGRAMMING, STARLIGHT'S REMAINING EXPENSES INCLUDED THE CORE OF WHAT SETS STARLIGHT APART: A HISTORIC LANDMARK AND ITS 16-ACRE CAMPUS; COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMMING THAT PIVOTED TIME AND AGAIN TO CONTINUE TO SERVE KANSAS CITY; AND THE YEAR-ROUND FULL-TIME STAFF WHO ADJUSTED THEIR WORK TO SERVE NEW INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS, SACRIFICED TIME AND WAGES TO REDUCE EXPENSES, AND PREPARED FOR A FUTURE THAT REQUIRED MULTIPLE SCENARIO CONSIDERATIONS. WITH A SEASON IN WHICH THE CURTAIN NEVER ROSE FOR A PERFORMANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE STARLIGHT WAS BUILT 70 YEARS AGO NOW IN THE PAST, STARLIGHT LOOKS FORWARD TO THE RETURN OF LIVE PERFORMANCES ON ITS STAGE IN THE SUMMER OF 2021. HOWEVER, STARLIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO NAVIGATE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL CHALLENGES, UNPREDICTABLE ATTENDANCE AND REDUCED PROGRAMMING AS IT RECOVERS FROM A TRULY HISTORIC YEAR. IN A NORMAL YEAR, NEARLY 90% OF STARLIGHT'S OPERATING BUDGET IS SUPPORTED BY EARNED REVENUE RELATED TO SUMMER BROADWAY SERIES AND CONCERTS. WITH AN ABBREVIATED BROADWAY SERIES AND PROJECTED 70% REDUCTION OF LIVE CONCERT EVENTS DUE TO LIMITED TOURING SHOWS, STARLIGHT PLANS TO LEVERAGE ITS UNIQUE OUTDOOR THEATRE SETTING TO FOSTER A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR NOT ONLY THE RETURN TO NORMAL STARLIGHT PROGRAMMING BUT PRESENT NEW PROGRAMMING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER ARTS AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS THAT SHARE SIMILAR CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES AS A RESULT OF A YEAR WITHOUT TRADITIONAL PERFORMING ARTS EVENTS.
