Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
Schedule J
Answered yes
- 3 · Written employment contract
- 3 · Compensation survey or study
- 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
- 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
- 7 · Other non-fixed payments
Answered no

- 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
- 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
- 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- SCH J, PART I, LINE 4B
- During fiscal year 2018 the organization implemented a deferred compensation plan for the CEO. During the 5 year term of the agreement, the organization will set aside amounts as a long term incentive bonus. The CEO is not vested in these amounts until the end of the contract period, termination without cause or resignation on good terms. During the year ending June 30, 2023, the plan vested for compensation reporting purposes and is reflected in Schedule J Part II, Line 3F.
- SCH J, PART I, LINE 7
- MERIT BONUSES WERE AWARDED BASED ON PERFORMANCE AT YEAR END. Additionally, director fees are awarded based on the number of shows produced during the year.
- SCH J, PART II, LINE 3
- Bonus incentives and director fees reflected in Part II, Columns B(ii) and B(iii) are paid out depending on the number of shows produced during the year as well as dollars raised for the organization during the year. These are non-fixed payments received by the individual based on performance and are contingent on the successful operations of the organization. Additionally, the organization's 5-year 457F plan vested during fiscal year 2023 and was paid out, the portion of which is reflected both in column B(iii) and column F.
Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
