Emma and the Allianz Cash Cow delightfully teaches children about interest, money management, and the difference between a want and a need.Performed three new bullying prevention plays that we wrote in 2009 Bugs, Lockdown and The Bystander. Continued to perform 13 other plays on the environment, respect, self-control, acceptance of differences, and social skills. Continued to diversity our staff 37% of our 09-10 FY artistic staff is persons of color. Additionally, 25% of the theatre's executive/administrative staff is persons of color.Served new markets including libraries, programs for children and youth on the autism spectrum, and juvenile alternative facilities. We created lesson plans and received funding to provide programming in FY 10-11 for children in preschools. We received funding to present our 3 bullying prevention plays to 45,000 students in FY 10-11 in schools that have 55-100% of their students receiving free and reduced fee lunches.Extended our reach by having other theatres produce our plays Two theatres produced CLIMB plays during the 09-10 school year. The Maui Academy for the Performing Arts in Hawaii produced the Ugly Duckling and the Dreaded Kneejerk performing them over 100 times to approximately 10,000 students. Youth Stages continues to produce one of our two person 3-8 year old plays-Stubby the Elephant.Increased the amount of 09-10 summer programming by 100% over the prior year due to sales of our first ever library programming as well as gains in community education camps designed to help young people create their own performance pieces while learning the basics of acting. We also provided several unique, new programs:- Training seminars for camp counselors- Theatre camps for kids on the autism spectrum- Performances on gateway drugs at county fairs- A theatrical presentation for the Lewis Sports Foundation to help girls who play lacrosse develop sportsmanship and a sense of teamworkSurvived In FY 09-10 non-artistic staff salaries were reduced again, now totaling 13%-39%. Despite this, staff worked longer hours and worked even more efficiently as they endured the ongoing challenges resulting from personnel cuts, deep cuts in other expenses and changes in our organizational structure and how we do business. While we've certainly been challenged by the recession, we've been creative and wise in meeting those challenges. We were able to simplify and restructure our organization, establish new operational procedures, become more efficient and remarkably frugal, and most importantly, begin service to new markets.Secured funding and program commitments that would help assure a financially successful 2010-2011 FY 946439 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 11 0 1 135 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 5 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 MN X JEAN MARIE BROWN 6514539275 6415 CARMEN AVENUE EAST INVER GROVE HEIGHTS MN 55076 James GAMBONE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BONNIE MATSON 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOSEPH ATKINS 1.00 X 0 0 0 BILL PARTLAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES OLNEY 1.00 X 0 0 0 PEG WETLI 60.00 X 102455 0 0 102455 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 336483 25870 362353 TEACHING FEES 711110 381089 381089 PERFORMING FEES 711110 247205 247205 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICE 711110 17084 17084 645378 40284 22903 17381 17381 -8194 25575 5409662 5373037 36625 36625 other income 900099 6798 6798 6798 1068535 645378 28431 32373 80575 38167 25445 16963 588643 475993 106549 6101 75174 55953 16558 2663 42136 31363 9281 1492 11072 9892 1180 15077 13470 1607 6601 2252 4349 22074 17278 2796 2000 28993 24498 3495 1000 126785 122037 4248 500 38540 31457 7083 108365 90927 15068 2370 18274 15441 2333 500 PRODUCTION EXPENSES 12826 12826 MISCELLANEOUS 6296 4885 1411 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 4284 4284 PROFESSIONAL DVLPMNT 200 200 1185915 946439 205887 33589 32328 110142 20047 21500 322116 149782 59612 62648 11216 10964 16882 10227 2139487 1096229 1149450 1043258 38532 35730 1650183 1444251 78333 88652 35326 7544 851060 818651 38680 1003399 914847 X 390668 273873 256116 255531 646784 529404 1650183 1444251 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 518422 220187 378160 362350 362353 1841472 804840 1159364 1011415 793502 645378 4414499 1323262 1379551 1389575 1155852 1007731 6255971 0 0 0 6255971 1085 11031 3263 1231 16610 1085 11031 3263 1231 16610 2955 -5173 34540 6798 39120 1324347 1393537 1387665 1191623 1014529 6311701 0.99120 0.99160 0.00260 0.00300 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 12, Explanation of Other Income: MISCELLANEOUS RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 165014 165014 1290374 502595 787779 684099 593634 90465 1043258 1068535 1185915 -117380 0 -117380 6464475 5395940 5395940 1068535 0 1068535 6581855 5395940 5395940 1185915 0 1185915 Part X: Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: The Organization adopted the accounting standards for contingencies in evaluating uncertain tax positions and files as a tax-exempt organization.
