Desc	Main Street Theater (MST) opened in 1975 and for the past 46 years, it has served the Greater Houston community with engaging and enriching artistic programming while also providing meaningful professional opportunities for Houston's theater artists. MST strives to create theater that is representative of its community on both its MainStage and Theater for Youth. MST's adult audiences experience challenging and thought-provoking works, while its Theater for Youth programming is designed to supplement classroom curricula and inspire students to explore their imaginations. From September 2019 to February 2020, MST presented 385 performances of 8 productions to a total audience of 74,719. As a result of the COVID1-19 pandemic, MST moved to create free and low-cost digital programming that could be enjoyed by Houstonians of all ages while the theater was closed for in-person productions.

Desc	MST's education initiatives and in-school residencies utilize the arts to promote literacy and advance the understanding of science, math, engineering, and technology in the classroom.

In total, 290 children we served by MST education programs both in school and at MST facilities, employing 20 teaching artists city-wide.	Desc

Form And Line Reference	Part IV, Line 2b: Explanation of escrow account liability	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	In 2019, the Theater received a grant of $200,000 from a foundation to support the collaboration to share costume resources and expand the capacity of the performing arts sector. In connection with this grant, the Theater entered into a fiscal sponsorship agreement with Costume Connection Houston (the Connection) to operate the costume connect program. The Connection is a shared warehouse and wardrobe maintenance facility supporting the performing arts ecosystem of the Houston region. It provides climate-controlled storage for the costume inventory of all participating theaters and makes this stock available to non-profit theaters, dance schools, churches and community performing arts groups at reasonable rates. The Connection is in the process of establishing a 501(c)(3) status of the Internal Revenue Code. The Theater will transfer the remaining amount of the grant funds to the Connection upon establishment of the entity.	ExplanationTxt
