| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1: | THE 5TH AVENUE THEATRE IS ONE OF AMERICA'S LEADING MUSICAL THEATER COMPANIES. OUR ENTIRE ORGANIZATION IS PASSIONATE ABOUT MUSICAL THEATER. IN A TYPICAL YEAR, THE 5TH MAKES A DIFFERENCE THROUGH THE POWER OF MUSICALS IN THREE WAYS. FIRST, WE CREATE AND PRODUCE ORIGINAL MUSICALS FROM THE GROUND UP FOR OUR MAINSTAGE FOR AN AUDIENCE OF OVER 250,000. SECOND, WE INVEST IN AND DEVELOP NEW MUSICALS THAT TELL NEW STORIES, AND WE ASSIST AT ALL STAGES OF THE PROCESS FROM INTENTIONALLY COMMISSIONING WRITERS HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED TO SHOWCASING NEW MUSICALS IN OUR MAINSTAGE SEASON PROGRAMMING. FINALLY, WE NURTURE THE NEXT GENERATION OF THEATER ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES WITH ENGAGING HIGH-QUALITY ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT REACH 75,000 YOUTH ANNUALLY. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: | AS A NATIONAL LEADER IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF ORIGINAL MUSICALS, THE 5TH CELEBRATES THE MUSICAL IN ALL ITS FORMS, WE BRING NEW LIFE TO BELOVED CLASSICS AND WE NURTURE WRITERS AND CREATIVE TEAMS TO CREATE TOMORROW'S MUST-SEE MUSICALS. THE 5TH CREATES EVERY ASPECT OF OUR MUSICALS FROM CASTING, DIRECTING AND CHOREOGRAPHY TO SET, COSTUME AND LIGHTING DESIGN, WIGS AND MAKE-UP FOR OUR HOME STAGE. IN A TYPICAL YEAR, THE 5TH PRODUCES SEVEN MUSICALS THAT TELL GREAT STORIES AND THRILL OUR 250,000 AUDIENCE MEMBERS WITH WORLD-CLASS ACTING TALENT, DAZZLING CHOREOGRAPHY, A FULL ORCHESTRA, AND THE MAGIC OF GREAT LIGHTING, SETS, AND COSTUMES. THE 5TH SERVES AS A LAUNCH PAD FOR NEW MUSICALS. WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN PRODUCING 23 NEW MUSICALS FOR SEATTLE AUDIENCES, TEN OF WHICH HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY GONE TO BROADWAY AND GARNERED 15 TONY AWARDS (INCLUDING BEST MUSICAL FOR "HAIRSPRAY AND "MEMPHIS"). OUR FLAGSHIP NEW MUSICAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, FIRST DRAFT: RAISE YOUR VOICE, NURTURES NEW VOICES AND NEW STORIES BY SUPPORTING WRITERS FROM POPULATIONS UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE MUSICAL THEATER CANON AND SUPPORTING THEIR CREATION OF MUSICALS THAT TELL BRAND NEW STORIES FROM AUTHENTIC PERSPECTIVES. TO INCREASE ACCESS TO OUR PERFORMANCES, WE OFFER THOUSANDS OF FREE TICKETS TO LOCAL NONPROFITS THAT SERVE YOUTH AND FAMILIES WHO COULD NOT OTHERWISE AFFORD TO ATTEND. WE ENSURE THAT OUR PRODUCTIONS ARE ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE WITH HEARING, VISION, AND MOBILITY LIMITATIONS BY OFFERING A SUITE OF ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES. EACH SEASON WE SERVE OVER 5,000 PATRONS THROUGH OPEN-CAPTIONED, AUDIO-DESCRIBED, AND ASL-INTERPRETED PERFORMANCES, AND COMPLIMENTARY ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES, BRAILLE PLAYBILLS, WHEELCHAIR SEATING AND ELEVATOR ASSISTANCE. WE NOT ONLY SPREAD THE JOY OF GREAT MUSICALS BUT SERVE AS A SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND CULTURAL FORCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. OUR NONPROFIT THEATRE COMPANY HAS BEEN ONE OF THE REGION'S LARGEST PERFORMING ARTS EMPLOYER. IN A TYPICAL YEAR, WITH 75 FULL-TIME ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF AND 600 CREATIVE ARTISTS AND THEATER PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK WITH US THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE 5TH PLAYS A LEAD ROLE IN THE PERFORMING ARTS ECOSYSTEM. IN A TYPICAL YEAR, THE 5TH FUELS THE LOCAL ECONOMY TO THE TUNE OF $27 MILLION EACH YEAR, WITH $14 MILLION PAID IN SALARIES, WAGES, AND BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS, AND $13 MILLION IN AUDIENCE SPENDING WHEN THEY COME TO SEE A SHOW. IN A TYPICAL YEAR, THE 5TH SPREADS THE JOY OF MUSICALS TO 75,000 YOUNG PEOPLE. THERE IS A CRUCIAL NEED FOR ENRICHING AND ENGAGING ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMMING IN WASHINGTON, WHICH REQUIRES VERY LITTLE ART EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOLS AND EVEN THAT IS CHRONICALLY UNDERFUNDED. STUDENTS LIVING IN RURAL COMMUNITIES AND FROM LOW SOCIO-ECONOMIC HOUSEHOLDS HAVE EVEN FEWER ARTS OPPORTUNITIES. THE 5TH'S ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMMING REACHES KIDS IN THE FAR CORNERS OF THE STATE, AND OUR ACTIVE RECRUITMENT STRATEGIES AND TUITION-FREE PROGRAMMING INVITES THOSE WHO ARE OFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE ARTS SCENE DUE TO GEOGRAPHY, INCOME, AND OTHER BARRIERS. WE PARTNER WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE FREE ARTS OPPORTUNITIES IN THE CLASSROOM AND AT OUR THEATER. WE IGNITE A LOVE FOR MUSICALS AND INSTILL ARTISTIC SKILLS WITH HANDS-ON TRAINING AND MENTORSHIP TO NURTURE THE NEXT GENERATION OF THEATER PROFESSIONALS AND AUDIENCES. AS A RESULT OF COVID-19 AND GOVERNMENT-MANDATED CLOSURES, SINCE MARCH 2020 THE 5TH HAS BEEN UNABLE TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY IN THE WAYS THAT WE HAVE FOR DECADES. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF THE ARTS TO NURTURE OUR SOULS, IMPROVE OUR WELLBEING, AND CONNECT TO EACH OTHER AND OUR COMMUNITY, THE 5TH HAS WORKED HARD TO REINVENT OURSELVES AND THE ART THAT WE CREATE, DELVING INTO THE DIGITAL WORLD. FOR 2020 AND 2021, WE HAVE DESIGNED AND CREATED MISSION-DRIVEN ARTISTIC AND EDUCATION PROGRAMMING IN WAYS THAT WE HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE. THE DIGITAL SEASON INCLUDES VIDEO CONCERTS; PODCASTS WITH ARTISTIC AND EDUCATION STAFF; RADIO PLAYS OF NEW MUSICALS; AND INTIMATE, ORIGINAL STORIES WRITTEN, CREATED, AND PERFORMED BY LOCAL ACTORS, WRITERS, AND MUSICIANS, WHICH HAS ALLOWED US TO KEEP STAFF AND HIRE ACTORS, MUSICIANS, THEATER PROFESSIONALS, AND PROFESSIONAL TEACHING ARTISTS. THE 5TH ALSO PIVOTED LONG-STANDING ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO TUITION-FREE VIRTUAL FORMATS TO ENGAGE YOUTH DURING THIS TIME WHEN THEY ARE SOCIALLY ISOLATED AND MISSING THEIR PEERS AND ACTIVITIES; WE CONTINUE TO SERVE THOUSANDS OF YOUTH DURING THE PANDEMIC. |
