DescPROFESSIONAL CHILDREN'S THEATER PRODUCTIONS In 1987, First Stage began as a small theater company with a goal of providing professional theater for young people and families. Now in its 29th season, the company has grown to become one of the nation's acclaimed professional theaters for young audiences and one of the largest theater companies in Milwaukee. First Stage offers an ten-play season of professional theater for young people and families with titles chosen for educational content, social significance and their ability to spark conversation at home and in classrooms. Classroom teachers use a field trip to First Stage as means to help develop literacy and enhance learning across the curriculum, including teacher enrichment guides and workshop opportunities that align each play to key Common Core State Standards and Wisconsin Model Academic Standards.In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, over 72,000 individuals from over 441 schools attended our school group performances at our theater (at ticket prices 63% below our public prices). Over 60,000 individuals attended our public performances, as single or season ticket buyers or as part of a public group (e.g., Girl Scout troops). In total, First Stage had over 425 performances and performed before 133,600 people, making 2015-2016 the season with the highest ticket sales in First Stage's 29-year history.In 2015-2016, First Stage continued its commitment to new play development with four world premiere productions: THE SNOW, ELLA ENCHANTED, SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN, and JUST A LITTLE CRITTER MUSICAL. Audiences responded favorably at the box office with our holiday production, A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS , which sold almost 27,000 tickets among 47 public and 14 school performances, filling public performances to over 86% capacity, exceeding projected ticket revenue goals, and becoming First Stage's highest grossing production in its 29-year history.First Stage launched the Pay What You Choose performances in 2015-2016 to broaden the reach throughout our community and to confirm our commitment to make theater avaiable to all who wish to attend. For each production of our mainstage Family Series at the Todd Wehr Theater, there is one performance available with only a minimum suggested donation of $5 per person. First Stage's commitment to make theater available to all also spurred us to grow the number of Sensory-Friendly performances for patrons on the autism spectrum or with other developmental disabilities. These performances feature a welcoming environment including lower sound, lights up, and available quiet areas staffed by experienced educators.Additionally as discussed below in Theater Academy, First Stage Young Company - the Theater Academy's advanced actor training program for high schools students - abbreviated its usual season of three full-scale productions to only two to allow for a staged reading of a newly commissioned play at the Kennedy Center's New Visions New Voices conference in Washington DC in May 2016. The Young Company was honored to be the first group of young performers to be requested to perform at this conference since its inception in 1991.First Stage was also honored in 2015-2016 to be nominated for a MANDI (Milwaukee Awards for Neighborhood Development Innovation) award. First Stage was a finalist for the PNC Bank Trail Blazer Award, which recognizes an innovative approach to a community problem (in the case of First Stage, our six years of The Wisconsin Cycle for plays and associated workshops that sought to share local stories to celebrate the rich heritage of our state). In addition to enriching the lives of our audiences, First Stage practices age-appropriate casting (i.e., roles of children will be played by young performers). In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, 150 children performed on our professional stages, thus providing them with enriched experiences of teamwork and responsibility but also giving our audience a more realistic story-telling experience.Desc

DescTHEATER ACADEMY FOR CHILDRENTheater arts have an intrinsic potential to teach important life skills such as self-confidence, discipline, commitment, and teamwork. Having access to theater professionals with the unique ability and passion for working with children, First Stage founded the Theater Academy in 1992. The goal of the Academy is to teach "life skills through stage skills." Academy classes are offered year-round to help children build character, develop leadership skills and increase emotional intelligence. The Theater Academy has been proven to help students in school by improving Emotional Intelligence scores (self-awareness, respect for self and others, team work, etc.) and instilling 21st century workforce skills (collaboration, critical thinking, increased communication, flexibility and creative thinking). First Stage Academy offers a journey of self-discovery and helps children maximize their own potential in a safe environment surrounded by adult mentors and positive peers.In the 2015-16 fiscal year, First Stage offered classes with contact hours ranging from 8 to 120 hours each, for over 2,900 enrollments for approximately 2,100 children, approximately 32% of which were from the City of Milwaukee and 24% of which were in need of financial assistance in order to attend. First Stage has never turned away a student due to a family's inability to pay costs associated with classes. Through donations, First Stage was able to provide nearly $168,000 in financial aid to help with tuition, transportation, and lunches for over 520 students or 777 enrollments.First Stage's Theater Academy holds classes year-round. Several of its more unique programs are described below, as well as achievements in the recent season:* Next Steps was established in 2012 as a musical theatre and acting program designed specifically for students on the autism spectrum. Next Steps provides an opportunity to learn social and developmental skills among their peers.* The Writer's Group provides an opportunity to experiment, improve and explore dramatic writing as a tool for human connection and self-expression. * First Stage's Student Advisory Board was created in 2013-2014 out of a need for the student's voice to be heard in making decisions about Academy programming and policies. By 2014-2015 the SAB doubled in size and added an opportunity beginning in 2015-2016 for two representatives to sit on the First Stage Board of Directors.* The Academy hosts a regional playwriting competition as a part of the yearly national Young Playwrights for Change contest hosted by the national TYA/USA organization.* First Stage Academy's Mentorship program begun in 2014-2015 provides one-on-one mentoring to young people who show interest and potential as performers. Mentees are supported by First Stage staff in their personal and artistic endeavors and encouraged to take advantage of all that First Stage programming has to offer. In the 2015-2016 season, ten mentees participated in the program.* First Stage launched a new component of our summer Academy programming in 2014-2015, giving students the opportunity to choose a major focus area of study. Choosing a major gives them more power over their curriculum and an opportunity to deepen knowledge and experience in a particular area of theater arts.* Each summer, Theater Academy students embark on their Kid-to-Kid campaign. Over the course of 8 weeks, the students donate their dollars and coins, hold fund-raisers, make challenges to one another, etc., to raise money for the Family Partnership Program, which offers scholarships to student who need them. And beginning in 2014, Academy staff now hold annual Kid-to-Kid Cabarets, where the staff help to raise money for financial aid through performing in a cabaret night. This event, along with the student's annual Kid-to-Kid campaign, raises several thousand dollars to support young people in the Family Partnership Program.* 2015-2016 saw the official beginning of the Community Learning Center at a local school. The Academy co-developed this after-school arts program at Kluge Elementary school with the First Stage Education department. Focusing on Voice and Movement, Scene Study, Creative Drama, and Musical Theater the program allowed us to help these K-5th grade students gain confidence, empathy, critical thinking, and literacy skills.* First Stage expanded its Academy programming in 2015-2016 into the southern communities of Milwaukee by holding classes at satellite sites in the Franklin and Oak Creek suburbs.* In 2015-2016, First Stage began its Teaching Artist Fellowship program, recruiting three theater/theater education graduates [two for the Theater Academy and one for the Theater-in-Education department] from across the country to participate in a volunteer program for one year to receive theater education training and acting opportunities. The Fellowship program is an endeavor on the part of First Stage to build diversity into its teaching and acting pool, while providing recent college graduates with training from the nation's top theater academy.* As discussed above in Theater Productions, First Stage Young Company - the Theater Academy's advanced actor training program for high schools students - abbreviated its usual season of three full-scale productions to only two to allow for a staged reading of a newly commissioned play at the Kennedy Center's New Visions New Voices conference in Washington DC in May 2016. The Young Company was honored to be the first group of young performers to be requested to perform at this conference since its inception in 1991.* A portion of the Young Company has competed each October since 2008 in the Shakespeare Competition at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah. The competition gives junior and high school students from around the nation a chance to present material from Shakespearean literature in various artistic forms. This work is adjudicated by professionals in their fields, who also offer various workshops that can be attended for university credit.Desc

DescTHEATER-IN-EDUCATIONFirst Stage knows that the arts can be used as a powerful vehicle for in-school learning, rather than detached from traditional curriculum as an "extra." Drama in particular effortlessly lends itself to integration with literature and language arts. First Stage does not go into classrooms and teach drama, but rather uses theater as an effective medium to teach academic subject matter. First Stage has the unique ability to use theater activities to present curriculum effectively to all types of learners - visual, auditory and kinesthetic. In addition, classroom teachers have an ongoing concern about standardized testing. In response, First Stage offers programs that boost critical literacy skills, increase state standardized test scores and help teachers learn new and creative ways to teach. As schools are forced to spend less on arts programming, these programs cleverly blend the arts with existing curriculum making it a win-win for teachers that are under pressure to cover a great deal of material and for students that thrive when they are allowed to express themselves and use their natural creativity in the classroom. The Theater-in-Education programs are also run by skilled and nationally respected leaders. Education Director, Julia Magnasco serves on the Board of Theatre for Young Audiences/USA - the United States center for the International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People . As a professional membership organization with 50 years of service to the field, TYA/USA is known for One Theatre World, TYA/USA's national festival, and TYA Today, a nationally and internationally respected magazine for the field of theatre for young people. Ms. Magnasco was also recently selected as one of the Forty Under Forty award recipients by the Milwaukee Business Journal.In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, First Stage's teaching artists reached over 18,000 students in 675 classrooms with over 2,800 workshops. Many of these students also attended our matinee performances described above, plus approximately 2,300 students were involved in our Literacy and Literacy Plus programs and 6,052 students were part of our subsidized Connections outreach program, which develops creative thinking, logical reasoning, public speaking, and Emotional Intelligence. In addition to helping to educate children, First Stage provided professional development to over 550 teachers in local schools.In 2015-2016, First Stage's Theater in Education department began the following new programs: Afterschool Community Learning Center (CLC) at Kluge Elementary School (also discussed above in Theater Academy): Although First Stage launched a self-supported pilot program in 2014-2015 to prove the concept of an arts-led afterschool program, 2015-2016 was the first official year of the CLC. This season's program was approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and supported by federal funds through the Milwaukee Public School system and the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program. First Stage served 60 students at Kluge Elementary five days a week from September through May. Using theater arts, First Stage worked to strengthen students' academic achievement, enhance job readiness skills, promote character development, and empower parents to play an active role in their children's education. First Stage provided Theater Academy classes, arts-integrated literacy programs, and character development workshops targeted towards improving students' low standardized test scores (a key goal in Milwaukee Public Schools' district improvement plan). In addition, First Stage engaged families of CLC participants at family theater workshops and fieldtrips to First Stage productions.In 2015-2016, First Stage began its Teaching Artist Fellowship program, recruiting three theater/theater education graduates [two for the Theater Academy and one for the Theater-in-Education department] from across the country to participate in a volunteer program for one year to receive theater education training and acting opportunities. The Fellowship program is an endeavor on the part of First Stage to build diversity into its teaching and acting pool, while providing recent college graduates with training from the nation's top theater-in-education department.In 2015-2016, First Stage launched its Literacy Plus Program, a hybrid of the existing Literacy Residency and the Connections program. Over the course of 14 weeks, First Stage's Literacy Residencies develop critical literacy skills among students to increase achievement on standardized tests and enhancing their overall comprehension and retention of grade appropriate English Language Arts Model Academic Standards. The Connections program is a partially subsidized program that offers tickets to any school performance, bussing to that performance, pre and post-show workshops, teaching-through-theater workshops, and teaching guides for the classroom teachers. For many educators, the 14 week Literacy program was too large of a committment. And a fieldtrip was a real desire on behalf of the class. So the Literacy Plus program, which has 7 weeks of literacy residency and a trip to the theater, quickly became the right product for many classrooms in Milwaukee. In the first year, over 2,000 students participated in the Literacy Plus program, growing our Literacy/Connections enrollments by 56%.In August of 2015, First Stage and Milwaukee hosted the annual AATE conference, which was co-chaired by Education Director Julia Magnasco. The American Alliance for Theatre and Education (AATE), among the most recognized arts education organizations, works to ensure that every young person experiences quality theatre arts in their lives provided by proficient, talented artists and educators. Through its membership of theatre artists, inservice and pre-service teachers, professors, directors, scholars and playwrights, AATE serves more than a million students in 48 U.S. states and 19 countries worldwide. This year's 5-day conference hosted over 300 educators, artist, and leaders within the theater-in-education field,Desc

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cTHE ORGANIZATION'S FISCAL YEAR RUNS FROM JULY 1 THROUGH JUNE 30. HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF THE FINANCIAL ACTIVITY FOR THE ORGANIZATION OCCURS DURING OUR THEATRICAL SEASON, WHICH RUNS FROM SEPTEMBER THROUGH MAY. IT IS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS REGULAR BOARD MEETINGS. AT THE FIRST BOARD MEETING OF THE SEASON, IN SEPTEMBER, THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS DISTRIBUTED TO EACH DIRECTOR. THE DIRECTOR MUST COMPLETE THE SIGNATURE PAGE OF THE POLICY, CONFIRMING THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE POLICY, AND RETURN THAT PAGE TO THE GENERAL MANAGER. ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD WHO REFUSES OR FAILS TO SIGN SUCH A STATEMENT SHALL BE PROHIBITED FROM PARTICIPATING IN DISCUSSION OR ACTION BY THE BOARD. IF THEN DURING THE YEAR A DIRECTOR LEARNS OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THEY MUST DISCLOSE IT TO THE BOARD. SUCH A CONFLICT WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING. AT FUTURE DISCUSSIONS OR VOTES TO WHICH THIS CONFLICT IS RELATED, THE DIRECTOR WILL BE RECUSED FROM THE MEETING. TO ENSURE THE UTMOST EFFICACY OF THIS POLICY, THE GENERAL MANAGER CONDUCTS PERIODIC REVIEWS TO ENSURE THE SIGNING OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT AND ALSO REVIEWS THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE BOARD ON BEHALF OF THE ORGANIZATION. SUCH REVIEW IS INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES AT ALL TIMES TO BE OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ITS PUBLIC CHARITABLE PURPOSES, RATHER THAN FOR THE BENEFIT OF ONE OR MORE PRIVATE PERSONS.
