We look forward to resuming creative instruction in January of 2023 with class offerings in scene study; improvisation & sketch writing; "Monster Rep": interpretation and performance of the most challenging epic and poetic texts; dramaturgy, playwriting & new play development. 20 hours of member training was provided on digital platforms, including The Foundation Directory, Cause IQ, Patron Manager, Grants.gov, EMMA and Discord. In addition, in 2022, hands-on opportunities were supplied as follows: 186 hours of in person rehearsal (for actors, stage managers, directors, writers); 78 hours of in person design/production time (for designers, directors, producers); 60 hours of video editing, scoring and music mixing (for editors, composers, mixers); 76 hours of in person performance; 34 hours of live streamed performance; 29 hours of community engagement post performance curated conversations conducted virtually and in person (for all members and the community). The Open Fist Theatre Company shut down again in January of 2022 due to the COVID surge. For the first 2 months of 2022, the Company produced free virtual programming. Patrons were offered the option of making a donation, but this was not obligatory (approximately 1/3 of our attendees opted to contribute something.) In March, we resumed our residency at the Atwater Village Theatre Complex and produced continuously for the rest of the year. Our season was comprised of one Shakespeare comedy, two revivals and one world premiere. In December, the Company revived its exuberant annual charity concert -- this time in the BroadStage concert hall -- featuring the talents of 30 singers and instrumentalists. The Company's programming in 2022 involved 193 actors/singers and 30 other members. In person performances were attended by 3,445 patrons (2867 paid attendance; 588 free admissions) and virtual programs were attended by approximately 156 patrons (tickets were free but 56 contributed.) We recognize that sometimes links to our virtual programs were shared, or more than one individual watched on a single device. So these attendance figures for our virtual programming are undoubtedly low. 243772 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false The Open Fist Theatre Company 3238826912 14535 Arminta Street Unit E Van Nuys CA 91402 X MARTHA DEMSON Chairman 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MALHAR PAGAY President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD KNOLLA Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 INA SHUMAKER Secretary 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 8605 147306 49299 205210 CONCESSIONS 4239 4239 FUNDRAISING PRODUCTION ADS PRODUCTION RENTALS PRODUCTIONS 54947 54947 59186 1282 1282 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 265678 60468 0 0 0 0 0 0 54901 54901 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 177 177 0 6711 6711 127054 111754 15300 0 0 0 107 107 0 441 441 2869 2869 OTHER PRODUCTION COSTS 24464 24464 TICKET SERVICES 12892 12892 PUBLICITY 10360 10360 COVID RELATED COSTS 10138 10138 9140 9065 75 259254 243772 15482 0 168676 176050 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2550 4647 179029 150125 29345 28904 0 0 0 0 6175 6175 206746 215776 57716 60322 57716 60322 X 1000 1000 100523 100523 47507 53931 149030 155454 206746 215776 6424 X false false false X 10000 5749 4251 150966 126327 24639 18063 18049 14 28904 LOAN PAYABLE-OTHER 32716 OTHER PAYABLE 2606 SBA LOAN 25000 60322 true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized Schedule E, Line 4 - Explanation of Records and Materials Not Maintained Schedule E, Line 5 - Explanation of Organization Discrimination by Race MARTHA DEMSON DIRECTOR EQUIPMNT X 6087 32716 false true false 32716 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
