      <Desc>BROADWAY ENTERTAINMENT Presenting live Broadway theatre since 1951, the not-for-profit Starlight Theatre Association is Kansas City's oldest and largest performing arts organization. The Association operates, programs and maintains the largest 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 in excess of $750,000 for the complex, the Association also raises funds for capital improvements and a variety of programs, including Broadway musicals, concerts, community outreach and education. Since 2000, the Association has contributed more than $25 million of privately funded improvements to the Kansas City, Mo.-owned Starlight Theatre. In 2014, Starlight recorded more than $1.1 million of depreciation expenses related to the theatre facility, equipment and offices. Starlight Theatre continues to win local, national and international awards. In 2014, these honors included: Best Live Theatre - The Pitch; Best Live Theater - KC Magazine; Favorite Performing Art Group/Organization and Favorite Live Music Venue - Visit KC; Best Theatre and Best Performing Arts Venue - Ingram's magazine; Favorite Live Show and Favorite Parents Night Out - KC Parent magazine; Certificate of Excellence - Trip Advisor. Starlight also was featured in the following national online listings: "Summer's 10 Best Outdoor Theatre Experiences," Fodor's Travel; "Most Unique Music Venues," E! Entertainment; and "The 10 Most Amazing Outdoor Music Venues in the Country," Green Label. Total attendance for Starlight Broadway shows and concerts was 288,000 in 2014. Starlight Theatre's annual Broadway series features national Broadway tours, co-productions with other regional and national theatres, and its own locally produced shows. The landmark outdoor theatre, one of only three of its kind remaining in the United States, draws theatre fans in the summer from throughout the Kansas City area, as well as surrounding cities and states. In fact, nearly every summer Starlight welcomes visitors from all 50 states and several nations. The 2014 Broadway season brought many top shows to the 12,000-square-foot Starlight Theatre stage - The Wizard of Oz, We Will Rock You, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Sound of Music and Blue Man Group. A highlight of the Broadway season was the "Yellow Brick Bash Festival" which was held prior to all performances of The Wizard of Oz and provided free interactive activities and entertainment for families. Total attendance for the 2014 Broadway productions was approximately 157,000. Audience members enjoyed a new venue-wide sound system in 2014, as well as perennial favorite amenities including pre-show dining, a gift store, expanded concessions, picturesque fountains and lushly landscaped grounds. Each year Starlight contributes more than 11,000 free tickets to qualifying not-for-profit community organizations with a value approaching $300,000. In support of its mission, Starlight Theatre since 1951 has offered a Community Ticket Program that provides a live theatre experience to individuals who would otherwise be unable to afford one due to economic, medical or other restrictive causes. Each season, the program provides free Starlight Broadway tickets to qualifying not-for-profit organizations with special consideration given to organizations that serve at-risk youth, clients with physical and emotional challenges, individuals living on fixed incomes, and other similar populations. In 2014, Starlight provided 11,284 tickets to 110 different local not-for-profit organizations which included tickets for each of the theatre's 31 Broadway performances. Starlight Theatre also provides 200 free tickets each season to charitable and community organizations to use in their own fund-raising efforts. In addition, Starlight maintains a portion of its tickets at below-market prices to provide affordable access to area residents and visitors. In 2014, approximately 18 percent of all tickets for Starlight Broadway musicals were sold for $10 or less.</Desc>

        <Desc>Concert ENTERTAINMENT In addition to offering award-winning Broadway theatre, Starlight Theatre is a favored performance venue for top concert artists. Starlight's climate-controlled stage, rehearsal spaces, dressing rooms and many amenities are considered state of the art in the outdoor concert industry. Starlight's seating capacity is another major plus in attracting today's leading performance artists. Starlight's 2014 Concert Series featured 25 concert performances covering the gamut of musical genres. The lineup ranged from classic rock favorites such as Boston, Journey, ZZ Top and Chicago to country acts Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss and Alabama to current chart-toppers including OneRepublic and Arcade Fire. Nearly 131,000 music fans enjoyed a concert at Starlight in 2014. Developing the younger demographic through concert offerings helps guarantee Starlight's future by introducing new generations to a time honored Kansas City tradition, helping to expand their horizons to other entertainment options including Broadway performances and education opportunities for their children.</Desc>

        <Desc>Education and Outreach Programs The momentum for performing arts education continues to build at Starlight Theatre. The commitment to education is deeply held at Starlight as evidenced in the theatre's vision statement: Starlight Theatre is the premier entertainment treasure of the heartland, where performing arts share center stage with education. In keeping with its not-for-profit mission and in response to growing community interest, Starlight continues to expand its portfolio of education programs. As expenses significantly exceed revenues for its education offerings, many of which are offered at little or no cost to participants, Starlight funds this important initiative with operations, operating funds and private donations. Educational programming in 2014 included: * Paid College internships in multiple theatre production and administration roles, through the Bob Rohlf Internship Program * Starlight's Blue Star Awards, the second largest high school musical theatre awards program in the country. In 2014, 46 Kansas City area schools participated in the program, presenting 52 productions and involving more than 4,600 high school students. * Rising Star Scholarships for Blue Star Awards' participating high school seniors and Vincent Legacy Scholarships for ethnically-diverse middle-school students * The Starlight STARS of Tomorrow musical theatre training and performance troupe for 7th through 12th grade students * Act Like an Animal summer camp, held in partnership with the Kansas City Zoo, offered two, two-week sessions for youth ages 5 to 10 * Starlight Theatre Academy offerings, including Frosty Fun Days winter-break day camp (ages 6-10), Spring Break Camp (ages 6-14), Camp Take-A-Bow (ages 11-14) and Master Class sessions for middle and high school students * Starlight on Site's in-school theatre education curriculum at Hogan Preparatory Academy Middle School offered to students at no cost * Just Imagine, an interactive theatrical performance program for children receiving services from hospitals, domestic shelters and child service organizations Highlights of Starlight's 2014 Education programs included the continued growth of on-site Master Classes and camps; the celebration of the 12th Anniversary of Starlight's Blue Star Awards; and the addition of three new scholars to the Vincent Legacy Scholarship program - expanding the total to 22 recipients since the program's inception in 2006.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>OTHER LIABILITIES The Association applies the provision of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, (ASC 740) with respect to uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 requires that all tax positions be evaluated using a recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Differences between positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements are recorded as adjustments to income taxes payable or receivable, or adjustments to deferred income taxes, or both. ASC 740 also requires expanded disclosures at the end of each annual reporting period. No amounts have been recorded at September 30, 2014 or 2013 with respect to uncertain tax positions.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>FAMILY/BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS Members of the Board of Directors of Starlight Theatre Association of Kansas City represent local companies where business relationships between such companies are the norm and exist in the normal course of business. There are no relationships between individual Board members or their companies that would require disclosure under a strict interpretation of the Internal Revenue Service's instructions. The relationships that are present are strictly a part of regular business transactions and would be offered to the general public. Given the nature of the business relationships and disclosures provided on a Conflict of Interest questionnaire submitted by each Board Member, Starlight believes the relationships that are present do not meet the disclosure requirements as stated in the instructions to Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Question 2 - Did any officer, director, trustee, or key employee have a family relationship or a business relationship with any other officer, director, trustee, or key employee. Accordingly, the question will be answered no to remain compliant with IRS reporting and disclosure requirements. Starlight Theatre Association of Kansas City purchases services from companies affiliated with members of the Board of Directors. When applicable, services provided by related parties go through an appropriate competitive bid process. Services purchased from these affiliated companies during 2014 and 2013 amounted to approximately $580,460 AND $560,813, respectively, and related to utilities, insurance, construction, and architecture fees.</ExplanationTxt>
