THE SUMMER FESTIVAL SEASON INCLUDED FIVE NEW PLAYS EXPLORING PRIVATIZED SPACE EXPLORATION, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, REDEMPTION IN THE WAKE OF A HATE CRIME, THE MEANING OF LIFE AND DEATH, AND THE COST OF LONG-HELD SECRETS. THIS WAS THE FIRST SEASON SELECTED BY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR PEGGY MCKOWEN AND - FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CATF'S HISTORY - EACH PRODUCTION WAS A WORLD-PREMIERE. THE SEASON WAS WELL-RECEIVED BY CRITICS AND AUDIENCES ALIKE AND WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS OF 130 ARTISTS. CATF RETURNED TO OFFERING A LARGE SELECTION OF TALKTHEATER EVENTS EXPLORING THE THEMES OF THE PLAYS AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERACTION BETWEEN ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED A LECTURE BY NASA SCIENTISTS, A WEEKLY BRUNCH WITH THE CATF ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AT A LOCAL BISTRO, AND A CONVERSATION WITH TWO WRITERS ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WRITING FOR THE STAGE AND SCREEN. CATF CONTINUED TO ADHERE TO EVOLVING COVID SAFETY PROTOCOLS, INCLUDING OFFERING SEVERAL MASKED PERFORMANCES TO ACCOMMODATE DIFFERENT COMFORT LEVELS AMONG AUDIENCES. CASES OF COVID WERE RARE AMONG STAFF MEMBERS AND SPREAD WAS PREVENTED BY TESTING, ISOLATION, AND MASKING. NO PERFORMANCES WERE CANCELED DUE TO COVID.OUTSIDE OF THE SUMMER FESTIVAL, CATF ALSO PRODUCED A FALL READING SERIES FEATURING TWO STAGED READINGS OF WORK UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR AND COMMISSIONED A NEW PLAY INSPIRED BY THE LIVES AND STORIES OF LOCAL RESIDENTS OF SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV.CATF WAS GIFTED A HISTORIC CHURCH BUILDING AND CHURCHYARD DATING BACK TO THE LATE 1700S WHEN IN EARLY 2023 THE CHRIST REFORMED UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST CONGREGATION DECIDED TO DISBAND. THIS IS SIGNIFICANT AS IT MARKS THE FIRST TIME CATF HAS OWNED REAL PROPERTY AND CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CATF TO INCREASE ITS YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMMING. CATF INTENDS TO BE A GOOD STEWARD OF THIS LOCAL ASSET AND RENOVATE THE THEATER OVER THE COURSE OF THE COMING YEARS TO BE A THEATER AND COMMUNITY SPACE THAT CAN BE USED BY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. SINCE THE FESTIVAL'S FOUNDING IN 1991, CATF HAS GROWN IN NATIONAL REPUTATION AND IS HIGHLY REGARDED AS ONE OF AMERICA'S IMPORTANT NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT CENTERS. EACH YEAR PATRONS COME FROM OVER 38 STATES AND MULTIPLE COUNTRIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BIRTH OF DARING NEW WORK. NUMEROUS REVIEWS, ARTICLES, AND FEATURE STORIES HAVE APPEARED IN MEDIA VENUES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING THE WASHINGTON POST, THE BALTIMORE SUN, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE NEW YORK TIMES, AMERICAN THEATRE MAGAZINE, AND THE NEW YORKER. 1716865 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 44 0 1 110 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 29 28 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 WV MD VA X X THE ORGANIZATION 6812404043 SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY SHEPHERDSTOWN WV 25443 MARELLEN AHERNE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE MATHIAS VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CB BABCOCK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANN M HARKINS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ALAN N YOUNT SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PRAGATI PATRICK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDY ARNOLD TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY BRADSHAW TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALLISON MARINOFF CARLE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES EROS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY FELDMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON THOMAS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR MARY HENDRIX PRESIDENT SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY 1.00 X 0 0 0 DIANA HORVAT TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL KESSLER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROB TUDOR TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH MCDONALD TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN MILLS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRANKLIN MOORE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID RAMPY TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA RISSLER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 AUDREY ROWE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 FALYNN SCHMIDT TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICK SHAFFER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID EMERSON TONEY TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA YOUNIS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINNSEY AMORES TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERTA DEBIASI MD MS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEANNE MUIR TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PEGGY MCKOWEN ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 40.00 X 95000 0 15731 JEFF GRIFFIN MANAGING DIRECTOR 40.00 X 95000 0 11200 190000 0 26931 0 0 0 0 0 119434 3176296 500000 3295730 BOX OFFICE 711110 517904 517904 CONCESSIONS & MERCHAND 711110 13812 13812 AD SALES 711110 11400 11400 543116 3829 3829 OTHER 900099 16798 16798 16798 3859473 531716 11400 20627 190000 104500 49400 36100 956558 791504 95365 69689 25976 19786 3577 2613 98708 75185 13590 9933 87277 66479 12017 8781 20673 20673 76749 76749 51994 4000 17994 30000 41692 41692 54503 3339 49649 1515 26758 26758 151435 151435 66425 58080 7043 1302 10398 10398 17582 13071 4511 25071 25071 PRODUCTION COSTS 127828 127828 EVENTS AND PROGRAMS 72944 72944 BOX OFFICE EXPENSES 34386 34386 GRAPHIC DESIGN 28675 28675 62638 61734 904 2228270 1716865 274723 236682 516278 481809 80811 690460 72772 68561 1059 0 610290 45073 53416 565217 595162 1256695 1319498 3062742 14237 29480 41669 73732 50000 55906 153212 X 344444 613481 919148 2296049 1263592 2909530 1319498 3062742 X 1631203 14735 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1037024 1071443 1578166 100810 3295730 7083173 2570 9235 460323 930 543116 1016174 52810 39211 264924 136365 493310 1092404 1119889 2303413 101740 3975211 8592657 0 0 0 8592657 22706 70 76 65 3829 26746 22706 70 76 65 3829 26746 2251 2624 8242 8958 16798 38873 1117361 1122583 2311731 110763 3995838 8658276 0.99240 0.98330 0.00310 0.01070 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 739679 4186 14735 758600 739679 739679 857558 -105679 12200 739679 754051 333 114974 11800 857558 743493 22508 11950 754051 1.00000 1 0 198499 198499 301501 3769 297732 2490 1925 565 104618 36985 67633 3182 2394 788 565217 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENTS 609897 UNCONDITIONAL PROMISES TO GIVE, NET 646798 1256695 4010573 136365 14735 151100 3859473 0 3859473 2364635 136365 136365 2228270 0 2228270 PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: CHANGE IN BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENTS 14,735. 1 THE COMPASS GROUP INC 2961 - A HUNTER MILL ROAD SUITE 80 OAKTON VA 22124 FUNDRAISING CONSULTING 0 1452178 76749 1375429 1452178 76749 1375429 X 1 500000 TAX ASSESSMENT 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 DR.
