Mission and programs · 2024

• DCT'S THEATER PRODUCTION SEASON OFFERS PLAYS FOR FAMILY AUDIENCES ON A WIDE ARRAY OF TOPICS AND THEMES, FROM FAVORITE CLASSICS TO WORKS BASED ON POPULAR CHILDREN'S LITERATURE TO RELEVANT, EDGY TEEN ISSUES AND CURRENT CONVERSATIONS RELATING TO SOCIAL ISSUES. DCT OFFERS MUSICALS, DRAMAS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN TO DELIGHT AND INSPIRE ALL AGES. DCT ANNUALLY REACHES AN AVERAGE OF OVER 90,000 PERSONS THROUGH THIS OFFERING; MOST SIGNIFICANT ARE STUDENT MATINEE PERFORMANCES WHEREBY STUDENT SPONSORS (DISTRICTS OR PTAS) RECEIVE DISCOUNTED TICKETS AND FREE STUDY GUIDES ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR CURRICULUM-RELATED ACTIVITIES. DCT ALSO OFFERS FREE OR DEEPLY DISCOUNTED TICKETS TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THAT DO NOT NATURALLY THINK OF THEATER AS A TOP FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR VARIOUS REASONS INCLUDING HISTORIC RACIAL DISPARITIES, AND FOR TITLE 1 SCHOOLS. PRODUCTIONS ADAPTED FOR CHILDREN WITH SENSORY SENSITIVITIES CONTINUE TO BE A PART OF THE SEASON AS WELL. PROFESSIONAL ACTORS AND TEACHING ARTISTS GO INTO LIBRARIES AND OTHER COMMUNITY VENUES AS A WAY OF BOTH INTRODUCING THE CONCEPT OF THEATER TO SOME AUDIENCES AND CREATING A DEEPER CONNECTION BETWEEN DCT AND OTHERS. PRESENTATIONS CAN INCLUDE PERFORMANCES, HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS, EARLY SCRIPT READINGS, PLAY FOCUS GROUPS AND MUCH MORE.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 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. 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.
