“Play conservatory is an organization dedicated to providing pre- professional theatre arts training for young people and producing exciting live theatre for family audiences.”

“In the spring of 2018, play conservatory began a program called invent. This program is designed to bring youth together to write and produce their own plays. And, the play are considered tiny plays because they are very short and can be produced in a wide variety of spaces. Youth gathered over the course of a number of months on saturdays and produce a play entitled firebird. They created costumes and a basic set a very minimal set because the play was designed to be performed in spaces such as the corner of a shopping mall, or the plaza in front of a community center or the lobby of a ymca, etc. Firebird was performed in restaurants and community from july to november. This was the only program play ran in 2018 because its volunteer capacity was insufficient to pull together additional programs. In 2018 play continued marketing its summer program to more groups who work with at risk youth with the intention of moving away from competing with the private high schools for participants and giving youth who often do not have a chance to experience theater an opportunity to do so. Play was funded by one foundation to focus on this audience but, in 2018, was unable to find a program with which to partner. Those funds were usable into 2019, so they were held over. Fundraising and income play continues to take steps to increase its fundraising, targeting individuals who have given small amounts consistently in the past and getting many of them to increase their amount. We also identified additional known to the trustees individuals, most of whom had never given, and received first ever donations from them. Our private donor target list is growing. Expenses play continues to choose small programs that can be managed with our existing resources and do not increase our debt. Its monthly costs are now as low as possible and all income can go to program and the last small amount of debt created during the 2016 program, excepting that no restricted funds would be used to cover debt. Play continued to operate as an all-volunteer organization where administrative, fundraising and other indirect costs are concerned. Our earned income and donated funds are all directed at the costs of providing exciting and excellent theater for youth.”
