| Form 990, Part III, line 3 | The coronavirus pandemic closed the Theatre venue on March 13, 2020 for public performances which significantly reduced the Theatre's ticket sales and other earned revenue during the year that ended June 30, 2020. The Theatre took immediate measures to reduce costs and to maintain adequate liquidity. The continuation of the spread of the virus has caused a rapidly changing business environment, unprecedented market volatility, and other circumstances that will continue to impact its business in future periods. The Theatre continues to monitor evolving economic, public health, and general business conditions to address the actual and potential impacts on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Theatre has made significant reductions in operating expenses to reflect the inability to conduct live, in-person performances by eliminating non-essential spending where feasible. Before The Theater was forced to shutter the venue, 91,748 individuals attending the public performances came from 600 cities and towns in the Midwest and 76 out of 87 Minnesota counties. A total of 41,155 students and their teachers attending weekday matinee performances came from 129 cities and towns, mostly in Minnesota. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1 | The Executive Committee is empowered and authorized to act upon such matters as require action prior to the next regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting and any such actions of the Executive Committee shall have the same force and effect as an action of the Board of Directors, with the exception that the Executive Committee shall not have the power to make or amend the Bylaws of the corporation, elect members to the Board of Directors, or to fill vacancies on the Executive Committee. If the Executive Committee exercises any of the general powers or duties of the Board of Directors, such action shall be presented to the Board of Directors at the next meeting for ratification by the full Board of Directors. The executive committee consists of all officers of the corporation who are also directors, the chairs of each committee, and any at-large directors the Board of Directors shall appoint from time to time. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Form 990 is reviewed by the Board Chair and Treasurer. It is presented at a Finance Committee meeting and approved. It is also electronically sent to the entire Board of Directors before it being filed. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | New employees receive the conflict of interest policy in their employee handbook. They are required to complete a form that acknowledges that they have read the policies and understand them. The size of the organization also lends itself to quick recognition of situations where a conflict of interest may arise. Each board member completes an annual related party questionnaire as part of the audit process and discloses any conflicts of interest they may have. In the exercise of any voting rights, whether as a member of the Board of Directors, an officer, or in any other capacity relating to this corporation, no individual shall vote on any issue, motion, resolution or any other item whatsoever which directly or indirectly inures to the benefit of such individual ("Interested Party"); provided, however, that except as otherwise determined from time to time by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, not including the Interested Party, the Interested Party may participate in a discussion of such issue, motion, resolution, or item at any meeting of the members of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, if the Interested Party first makes a full and adequate disclosure of all material facts concerning the nature of the Interested Party's interest to the meeting at which the discussion is occurring and to the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Artistic Director and the Managing Director. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The Board of Directors issues the contracts for the Artistic Director and the Managing Director. The compensation packages are approved by the Executive Committee of the Board. The salary survey issued by Theatre Communication Group is used for determining compensation levels. The committee also looks at the compensation reported on the Form 990's of similarly sized Organizations. The Managing Director's contract was reviewed 1/16/16 and the Artistic Director's contract was reviewed 11/29/16. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. In addition, the annual report is available on the organization's website. |
| Form 990, Part XI, line 9: | Change in value of split-interest agreements 88,790. |
