• Arizona Theatre Company provides professional theatre arts programming to students across Arizona through our student matinee program. During the 2023-24 season, this initiative enriched the lives of more than 3,500 students.ATC's student matinee program provides affordable access to live theatre for students from K-12 grades. We offer $1 tickets to Title I schools and discounted tickets to all other student groups, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent young audiences from experiencing professional theatre. Following each performance, students engage in dynamic panel discussions with the artistic team and actors, deepening their understanding of the production. To further enhance the educational experience, ATC provides show-specific study guides and educator resources at no additional cost.

Our community engagement initiatives establish ATC as a vital cultural resource, extending our impact beyond the stage. Through diverse programs, including accessibility programming, audience engagement events, and the National Latine Playwright Award and Festival, we continuously expand our presence and strengthen our relationship with the community. Each of our productions features special events such as Community Night, Pride Night, and Teacher Preview Night, while offering reduced-price tickets to ensure the theatre remains accessible to all. ATC collaborates with more than 50 community organizations, local businesses, and nonprofits, forging meaningful partnerships that enhance engagement, elevate brand awareness, and support community well-being.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
