Last fiscal year, Faction of Fools Theatre Company produced its theatrical season: By DC For DC: Faction of Fools Theatres Season of New, Locally Grown Work! The main projects of this season were the You're Not Special: The Collaborative Playwrighting Project, the companys summer mainstage production, HOW THE SAUSAGE GETS MADE, and its ongoing education efforts.Faction produced its season at The Capitol Hill Arts Workshop. All tickets were sold on a sliding scale ($17-$37), meaning that patrons selected the price that fit their household budget. The companys season rehearsal and performance venue, Capitol Hill Arts Workshop, is easily accessible via public transit. As a part of You're Not Special: The Collaborative Playwrighting Project, Faction commissioned, developed, and premiered a new play by Doug Robinson, THE SHEPHERD PLAY. The company generated this play collaboratively over four devising workshops (totaling 17 days) between November 2024 and March 2025, culminating in a world premiere staged reading presentation on March 8 at The Capitol Hill Arts Workshop to an audience of 46. Faction will continue to develop this play in preparation for a 2027 world premiere production. HOW THE SAUSAGE GETS MADE was developed and produced at The Capitol Hill Arts Workshop, serving an audience of 678. The script for this production was written entirely by the cast of actors. In new works, Faction involves its diverse group of artists early in the creative process, allowing performers to craft their roles and steer the direction of the story. The production received a Helen Hayes recommendation, an enthusiastic audience reaction, and positive critical reviews. Education is at the core of Factions mission of preserving, celebrating, and promoting the classical theatre style of Commedia dell'Arte. This past season, Faction served 342 students through free and paid workshops and performances. As a part of its commitment to make Commedia training accessible for local artists, Faction annually provides a free professional workshop. This year, Faction provided 6 hours of free training to 15 local actors. These workshops provide a pathway to working for the company. This past year, one of the training participants was brought on to understudy for HOW THE SAUSAGE GETS MADE. The company is particularly proud to have offered a free performance of its touring show A COMMEDIA ROMEO AND JULIET to 150 students at Smothers Elementary in NE DC, a Title 1 school with a frozen spending budget. This performance, valued at $2,500 was provided free as a part of Factions dedication to provide free and subsidized programming to its DC student community. 98061 98061 Jenna Ballard President 2.00 0 Jordan Abner Treasurer 2.00 0 Valerie Dowdle Secretary 1.50 0 John Bellomo Trustee 1.00 0 Kevin Boyce Trustee 2.00 0 John Jacobsen Board Member 0.25 0 Claudia Seay Trustee 0.50 0 Valerie Sindal Trustee 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Jordan Abner 1501 S Quincy St Arlington VA 22204 7177984292 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 28089 45810 86471 80564 240934 26021 44373 27926 26089 124409 0 0 0 54110 90183 114397 106653 365343 0 0 365343 0 0 0 0 54110 90183 114397 106653 365343 X 0.00000 0.00000 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $3832 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $716 Other Expenses.1003 Information Technology $169 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $5281 Other Expenses.1 The Moors $33380 Other Expenses.2 How the Sausage Gets Made $14476 Other Expenses.3 New Doug Project $13249 Other Expenses.4 Storage Unit $2768 Other Expenses.5 Education budget $1050 Other Expenses.6 Through Piscataway Eyes $515 Other Expenses.7 Misc $294 Other Expenses.8 Theatre dues $200 Other Expenses.9 End of year fundraiser $50 Other Assets.1 Deposits in transit - Beginning $0 Deposits in transit - Ending $500 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $4595 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $4199 Total Liabilities.1 Uncashed Check - Beginning $24 Uncashed Check - Ending $76
