THE MISSION OF THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE IS TO ENRICH THE CULTURAL LIFE OF GREAT LOS ANGELES AND THE UCLA COMMUNITY THROUGH PLAYS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THAT INFORM, ENTERTAIN AND INSPIRE OTHERS TO HELP MEET ITS MISSION. THE GEFFEN FOSTERS AN ACTIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LOS ANGELES ENTERTAINMENT AND OFFERS A SUPPORTIVE, INVITING ENVIRONMENT FOR ARTISTS AND THEATE PROFESSIONALS. LAUNCHED IN 1994, THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE BLOSSOMED FROM A WESTSIDE PRESENTING HOUSE TO A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTS INSTITUTION. UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF GIL CATES, THE GEFFEN HAS GROWN INTO A VIBRANT CULTURAL LANDMARK ON THE WESTSIDE OF LOS ANGELES. NOTED FOR ITS INTIMACY AND CELEBRATED FOR ITS WORLD-RENOWNED MIX OF CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY PLAYS, PROVOCATIVE NEW WORKS AND SECOND PRODUCTIONS, THE COMPANY HAS PRESENTED A REPERTOIRE OF AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTIONS THAT HAVE EARNED CRITICAL ACCLAIM AND INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION. THE GEFFEN HAS PRODUCED AMERICAN AND WORLD PERMIERS OF SOME OF THE MOST CHALLENGING WORK ON THE CONTEMPORARY STAGE. HONORED WITH MORE THAN 40 REGIONAL THEATER AWARDS, THE PLAYHOUSE IS ALSO A PROUD RECIPIENT OF GRANTS FROM THE EDGERTON NEW AMERICAN PLAY FOUNDATION AND THE STEINBERG CHARITABLE TRUST, ENABLING THE THEATER TO CONTINUE CONTRIBUTING TO THE CULTURAL CANON BY COMMISSIONING NEW WORKS. IN 2004, THE GEFFEN BROKE GROUND FOR ITS $17.5 MILLION CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TO RENOVATE AND EXPAND THE MAIN AUDITORIUM, CONSTRUCT THE AUDREY SKIRBALL KENIS THEATER, AN INTIMATE 120-SEAT ADDITION THAT SERVES AS A SECOND STATE. SOME OF THE RENOVATIONS INCLUDED RECONFIGURING OF THE MAIN STAGE, INSTALLATION OF AN ELEVATOR, STATE-OF-THE-ART HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS, EXPANDED DRESSING ROOMS AND GREEN ROOM FOR ARTISTS, AND EXPANDED OFFICE SPACE TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF THE COMPANY. THE NEW SEATING PLAN INCREASES COMFORT AND IMPROVES SIGHT LINES. STAIRS LEADING TO THE MAIN STAGE AUDITORIUM WERE ELIMINATED TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY. THE AUDREY SKIRBALL KENIS THEATER AT THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE GIVES OUR THEATER THE RICH OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT NEW PLAYS, DEVELOP ORIGINAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTIONS, AND EXPAND OUR EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAMS. THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE WELCOMES AN AUDIENCE OF MORE THAN 130,000 EACH YEAR. 520898 6396 EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS SEE MISSION & HISTORY STATEMENT ON LINE 4A 9881981 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 183 0 1 281 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 35 34 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X BEHNAZ ATAEE 3102086500 10886 LE CONTE AVENUE LOS ANGELES CA 90024 ADI GREENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ARTHUR N GREENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARRY MEYER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BETH BEHRS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARLA MALDEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA P STAFFORD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DENNIS DOTY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR BRAD EDGERTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR GENE D BLOCK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR GERALD S LEVEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRED SPEKTOR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GIL CATES JR VICE CHAIRMAN/ EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 38000 0 0 GINNY MANCINI SECRETARY 1.00 X 0 0 0 GLORYA KAUFMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HAROLD BROWN TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HERBERT M GELFAND CHAIRMAN EMERITUS 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOLLY RICE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOWARD TENENBAUM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOAN KALOUSTIAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA BERNSTEIN RUBIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LOREN ROTHSCHILD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORETTA EVERETT KAUFMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORRAINE SPURGE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK FLEISCHER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARTHA HENDERSON CO-CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY ANN CLOYD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL WALSH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAMELA ROBINSON HOLLANDER CO-CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA K APPLEGATE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA L GLASER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD SHERMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT MINERD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN A OLSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN MALLORY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TERI SCHWARTZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BEHNAZ ATAEE CFO 40.00 X 124432 0 10802 KEN NOVICE MANAGING DIRECTOR 40.00 X 149546 0 8648 RANDALL ARNEY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 40.00 X 231457 0 11035 ELLEN CATANIA DIRECTOR OF MAJOR GIFTS 40.00 X 144896 0 8275 JOSEPH YOSHITOMI DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION 40.00 X 133563 0 0 821894 0 38760 6 0 1 0 SCENIC HIGHLIGHTS 10830 CANTARA ST SUN VALLEY CA 91352 SET BUILDERS 548620 THEATER DIRECT INC 4213 W BURBANK BLVD BURBANK CA 91505 TELEMARKETING 522114 RSM CONSULTING 724 ALTA AVE SANTA MONICA CA 90402 FUNDRAISING 260000 CLASSIC PARTY RENTALS 2310 E IMPERIAL HWY EL SEGUNDO CA 90245 PARTY PLANNING/EQUIPMENT 147057 FUTURE LIGHTING 12020 BROWNS CANYON RD CHATSWORTH CA 91311 LIGHTING AND ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT RENTAL 135650 19 1105148 134000 13415242 11302717 14654390 TICKET SALES 711110 7361250 7361250 OTHER THEATER REVENUE 711110 102151 102151 7463401 45122 45122 2130 2130 1000000 1001285 -1285 -1285 -1285 747740 1105148 747740 0 247490 161507 85983 85983 88244 48743 39501 39501 22289242 7463401 0 171451 X 698881 549120 83987 65774 3277067 2563876 451113 262078 362968 296181 45597 21190 440075 361984 41447 36644 13029 3786 9243 35792 35792 1775440 1043549 138951 592940 1065477 926867 138610 264085 199140 32494 32451 301099 39903 244551 16645 337941 337941 381544 358601 10983 11960 7812 5913 1000 899 658036 658036 PRODUCTION EXPENSES 2234771 2234771 EVENTS 205931 83935 12769 109227 PROFESSIONAL EXPENSES 35875 29216 271 6388 259813 189162 28520 42131 12355636 9881981 1136718 1336937 421202 443149 1007606 770296 2438018 11607671 97504 111426 4366 2896 1127890 1230770 21526101 5994432 15945607 15531669 3460294 4904828 24502487 34602705 390354 403181 3298335 3452120 3688689 3855301 X 16196653 17034398 4617145 13713006 20813798 30747404 24502487 34602705 9933606 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3423592 4860218 4546238 5416727 14654390 32901165 6089568 7074622 6733726 9070112 7463401 36431429 9513160 11934840 11279964 14486839 22117791 69332594 1148130 1531188 1166195 1587838 10567751 16001102 0 1148130 1531188 1166195 1587838 10567751 16001102 53331492 51146 53841 42121 71268 47252 265628 51146 53841 42121 71268 47252 265628 92569 77520 60951 56154 85983 373177 464549 699751 129667 127278 88244 1509489 10121424 12765952 11512703 14741539 22339270 71480888 0.74610 0.94090 0.00370 0.00460 X SCHEDULE A, PART III, LINE 12, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: UCLA REIMBURSED MAINTENANCE - 2010 AMOUNT: $ 361,031. 2011 AMOUNT: $ 375,270. 2012 AMOUNT: $ 0. 2013 AMOUNT: $ 0. 2014 AMOUNT: $ 0.
