As of December 31, the thermometer burst past the finish line to a grand total of $15,969--a resounding success for our December Donation Dash.

A big thanks to
Barb & Eric, John, Liz & Patrick, Sam & Mary Lou, Kathy, Marla, Tom & The Rubber Consortium, Neal & Denise, Smokey Mountain Music, Carol & Kit, Susan, Robert & Debra, Dede, Stephanie, Alden & Suzanne, Jenéne, Judith, Pat, Gwendolyn, Angela & Charles, Sam & Marlene, Paul, Lynne, Michael & Mona, Cynthia, Cheryl, Sandra, Timothy, David, Mark, and Donna.

Because of your year-end support we paid all our 2012 bills on time, and we were able to pay a small stipend to our Artistic Director for the first time ever. In addition, because of some of your designated donations, we were able to purchase some much needed stage lighting, cleaning equipment, and power tools.



A Few Financial Facts
Redtwist's proposed 2013 budget is approximately $130,000 for the entire year. We manage to do so much with so little. We are excellent stewards of the money you donate. For example:
  • Our financial records have been audited for 2008, 2009, and 2010 so you can be assured that we are operating with approved financial management procedures.  

  • Each show costs about $8,000 to $12,000 to produce. We  produce 5-6 shows a year. This past year, our box office revenue covered most of our production costs. 

  • Our rent & utilities alone come to about $4,000 per month. We rely on grants and donations for general operating costs (rent, utilities, supplies, insurance) and to cover some production costs.

  • Your designated donations in 2012 year allowed Redtwist to create a new entrance to the theatre, view the action on stage from the lobby, create a ticketing system, and enhance our lighting and sound system.
