| Form 990, Part I, Line 1 and 3: Description of Organization's Mission: | The mission of the Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater is to be Chicago's primary residence for music and dance, connecting diverse audiences with outstanding artists from across the city, the nation, and the world. Founded by a dedicated group of civic leaders and community foundations, the Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance opened in November 2003 and was the first multi-use performance venue built in Chicago since 1929. Today, the Harris provides the most robust and diverse arts and cultural offerings of any venue in the Midwest. The Theater's mission is delivered through three intersecting strategies: curating a presenting series designed to offer an engaging array of genres and styles, collaborating with local companies who consider the Harris their Chicago performance home, and providing educational and accessible opportunities for everyone. In the 2019-2020 season, prior to a mandated closure due to COVID-19, the Harris welcomed 59,417 visitors, 1,515 artists from around the world, and featured 91 performances. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 | Joan W. Harris and Louise Frank have a family relationship. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 | During the 2020 fiscal year, three amendments were made to the Music and Dance Theater, Inc Board of Trustees Bylaws. During the February 6, 2020 meeting, section 6.3 was proposed and unanimously amended to the Bylaws. Section 6.3 formally recognizes the Harris Theater Associate Board as a group of young volunteers interested in supporting the corporation and should maintain at least eight members. During the May 14, 2020, meeting, section 3.2 of Article III and section 4.1 of Article IV were deleted from the Bylaws. A revised section 3.2 outlines the board of trustees numbers must be between 30 and 35 members consisting, terms of office should continue until the third annual meeting after an election or when a successor has been elected, and qualifications such as trustees are not required to be residents of Illinois nor are they disqualified from serving if they are associated with an organization that uses the Corporation's facilities. In addition, section 3.2 also stipulates that there be 4 ex-officio members with voting power (the president and CEO, two representatives from the Committees of Resident Companies, and the chair or a co-chair of the Harris Theater Associate Board). Section 4.1 outlines the structure of officers to include a chair, one or more vice chairs, a president and chief executive officer, a secretary, and a treasurer. Section 4.1 makes special note that any two or more officers may be held by the same person, except the officer of president and secretary. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | On September 24, 2020 the Board of Trustees of the Harris Theater approved a resolution that, with the Fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, gives the Audit Committee of the Board the authority to review the federal Form 990 and Illinois Form AG990-IL on the Board's behalf. On November 4, 2020, the Audit committee of the Board of Trustees met with representatives of RSM US LLP, who prepared the Form 990 and conducted that review. The extent of that review includes covering key issues. The complete Form 990 was then made available to all Board members who had ample time to review, ask question and/or suggest revisions before the Form 990 was filed with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Music and Dance Theater Chicago, Inc.'s ("MADTC") conflict of interest policy addresses transactions and arrangements involving MADTC's trustees, officers and any other managers or supervisors identified by the Board of Trustees or the President as exercising substantial influence over the operations of MADTC ("Covered Persons"). Each Covered Person upon becoming such shall prepare, sign and submit a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire. In addition, each Covered Person shall promptly and fully disclose all material facts of every actual or potential conflict of interest: (I) That arises while he/she is a Covered Person, at the time such actual or potential conflict arises; and; (II)Annually by preparing, signing and submitting a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire. All disclosures involving a transaction or arrangement being considered at a meeting of the Board of Trustees or of a board committee shall be made to all members present at such meeting. All other disclosures shall be made to the President (who shall disclose his or her conflicts to the Board of Trustees). A Covered Person who is in doubt as to the existence of a conflict of interest is encouraged to disclose all facts pertaining to the transaction or arrangement before undertaking the transaction or arrangement or making any decision in the matter. Each Covered Person shall sign a statement acknowledging that he or she has received a copy of this Policy, has read and understands it, and agrees to comply with it. If the Board of Trustees has reasonable cause to believe that a Covered Person has failed to comply with this Policy, the Board may counsel the Covered Person regarding such failure and, if the issue is not resolved to the Board's satisfaction, may consider additional corrective action as appropriate. Conflict of interest information is collected annually and throughout the year when new trustees come on. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | With respect to compensation of the CEO/Executive Director on an ongoing basis, post-hiring, the Board of Trustees has delegated overall responsibility for establishing such compensation to the Executive Committee. To carry out this assignment, the Executive Committee utilizes an ad hoc compensation sub-committee ("the compensation sub-committee"), consisting of former and current Board Chairs, along with board members bearing special expertise in the area of compensation, to review and determine the compensation of the CEO/Executive Director. To determine the compensation of the CEO/Executive Director, the compensation sub-committee has successfully employed a number of tools and resources, including without limitation, a review of compensation for similar positions at similar organizations, drawing upon data from Form 990's for such organizations; the compensation committee, as a matter of policy, retains the option of utilizing independent compensation consultants and compensation surveys or studies, when it determines that it is appropriate to supplement data from other resources. Each year, the compensation sub-committee reviews the compensation of the CEO/Executive Director in conjunction with the review of the performance of the CEO/Executive Director, including accomplishments, achievement of goals, and opportunities for improvement. After the completion of such review, the compensation sub-committee reports its findings and recommendations to the Executive Committee, which then determines the compensation of the CEO/Executive Director for the ensuing year. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Board Chair reports to the Board of Trustees the actions taken by the Executive Committee. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The Theater makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d). In addition, the Theater participates in the Cultural Data Project which provided detailed information on the organization, including financial data. The Theater applies for numerous grants from foundations as well as governmental bodies and provides such documents in that application process. Web sites such as GuideStar also have relevant documents of the theater. |
