The Apprentice Company, our professional training program, employed eight Apprentices, typically young artists who are within five years of undergraduate training. This program runs from September to April, and the Apprentices take classes in Acting, Shakespearean Text, Stage Combat, Voice for the stage, and other essential professional Theater Skills. They perform professionally on the Main Stage, understudy certain roles, and the program culminates with an evening of Shakespeare scenes, music and stage combat, performed for friends, family, Tavern staff and the public. 1745852 true true false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true X 23 0 true 125 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 9 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false GA X X JEFFREY WATKINS 4048745299 499 PEACHTREE STREET NE ATLANTA GA 30308 JEFFREY WATKINS PRESIDENT/ART DIRECTOR 50.0 0.0 X X 93274 0 0 LAURA COLE EDUCATION DIRECTOR 50.0 0.0 X 67000 0 0 JOE ROSSIDIVITO COMPANY MANAGER 50.0 0.0 X 66227 0 0 JAY ROOD ADMIN DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 14190 0 0 P EDWARD NORTHEN Co-Chair 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 PATRICIA GRIFFITH Co-Chair 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 KURT KUEHN Treasurer 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 ANTHONY COULTER Secretary 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 RICK HERNANDEZ Board Member 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ROHINI GUPTA BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER LAMOURT BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 FOSTER FINLEY BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW PALMER BOARD MEMBER THRU 08/2025 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 240691 0 0 0 false false false 0 128710 575393 19823 704103 TICKET SALES - EDUCATIONAL 711110 237744 237744 TICKET SALES - ADULT 711110 807779 807779 EDUCATION WORKSPHOPS 711110 53669 53669 1099192 36979 36979 0 0 0 0 0 29305 31272 -1967 -1967 -1967 0 0 0 0 0 0 296942 147346 149596 149596 0 1987903 1099192 184608 0 0 0 0 247181 134373 84488 28320 0 1172957 1017474 107758 47725 0 0 112312 93199 14223 4890 0 1300 1300 24290 24290 0 0 0 56200 45100 11100 46641 46641 10425 10425 715 715 16858 16858 59892 53903 5989 18695 18695 0 30434 30434 13444 13444 0 87095 69675 17420 65858 59272 6586 BANK CHARGES 64484 61260 3224 COSTUMES, PROPS, SETS 47944 47944 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 16719 16719 SPACE RENTAL 9671 9671 24123 10475 2236 11412 2127238 1745852 289039 92347 341076 951908 676531 26564 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 35441 27118 0 0 4172436 1276877 2962237 2895559 24315 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12434 5476 4052034 3906625 15674 26926 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 494373 482210 7681 0 517728 509136 X 3494306 3357489 40000 40000 3534306 3397489 4052034 3906625 -139335 2518 X X false true X true false X 767234 1573661 685881 757698 704103 4488577 0 0 767234 1573661 685881 757698 704103 4488577 47198 4441379 10467 829 14301 35387 36979 97963 0 0 4586540 4763139 0.96835 0.96841 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 40000 1061 1061 40000 40000 883 883 40000 40000 2877 2877 40000 40000 100 100 40000 40000 400 400 40000 1.00000 false false 737332 737332 771583 250711 520872 2182963 769818 1413145 480558 256348 224210 2895559 0 PAYROLL LIABILITIES 0 0 X 1990421 2518 2518 1987903 1987903 2127238 2127238 2127238 PART V, LINE 4 In 2004, the Organization received $40,000 to establish an endowment.
