Theatre Communications Group Releases 32nd Annual Report; Not-For-Profit Theaters Add $1.94 Billion to Economy
Broadwayworld.com – by BWW NEWSDESK
Not-for-profit theatres contributed nearly $1.94 billion to the U.S. economy and attracted 34 million attendees, according to Theatre Facts 2011. Released by Theatre Communications Group (TCG), Theatre Facts is the only in-depth report that examines the attendance, performance and overall fiscal state of the not-for-profit professional theatre industry. Theatre Facts 2011 is based on the TCG Fiscal Survey, compiling data from theatres’ fiscal year ending between October 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011. First published in 1980, the annual Theatre Facts report examines unrestricted income and expenses, balance sheets, attendance, pricing and performance details.
“After several years of difficult economic news, Theatre Facts 2011 shows audiences rebounding and working capital on the rise,” said Teresa Eyring, executive director of TCG. “Other notable trends include a rise in contributed income led by individual donors, an upswing in hiring with theatres adding 10% more employees, a five-year increase in both capital campaigns and rental income, and growing attendance at stage readings and workshops. These trends suggest theatres are beginning to climb out of the Recession by leveraging their fixed—and human—assets in meaningful ways.”
