2019 Annual Report

2019 ANNUAL REPORT

2019 Annual Report – Message from the Board

Writing today in Spring 2020, I find it difficult not to look back at 2019 with longing for the simple things that for decades have made CCTC/HJT the most important theater on Cape Cod: Hearing children in touch with their emotions and empathetic toward others. Seeing them wiggle way back then inch forward, to the edge of their seats. Watching youth come of age on stage. Knowing they will find success by applying what they have learned from our classes, rehearsals, and performances.

From these perspectives, 2019 was a rousing success. Nina Schuessler, our incomparable producing artistic director, brought forward shows that delighted and challenged our intergenerational actors and audiences, drawing on the talents of directors, designers, and crew plus Matt Kohler, our multi-faceted technical director. Tammy Harper, our indefatigable director of education and community outreach, introduced live theater to hundreds of students across the Cape in collaboration with school systems, summer camp programs, and our teaching artists. She also expanded our in-house educational offerings in the dramatic arts while launching a new dance program.

Accomplishments like these are not possible without you, our members and supporters. While 2020 is not going according to plan, rest assured that CCTC/HJT staff and the Board of Directors are working day and night to ensure that your theater—Betty Bobp’s friendly theater—will be ready to welcome you back when the time is right. Thank you for your generosity and for helping enrich the lives of so many.

Chris Powicki, President

We are saddened by the 2019 passing of Patricia Eleanor Cass, our friend, volunteer, and benefactor. Pat loved our theater and cared deeply for our mission. She took great pleasure preparing her delectable array of hors d’oeuvres and baked goods for countless opening night parties—always delivered with appreciation, a hug, and a smile. She was a devoted donor and included our theatre as part of her estate’s legacy gift. We are immeasurably grateful to Pat and her generous spirit, and we honor her memory. [Read more]

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR 2019 SUPPORTERS

2019 Revenues

2019 Financial Summary

CCTC/HJT experienced an up-and-down 2019, operating consistent with our mission but at a net loss of $31,000 on total revenues of $690,000. Total expenses rose. Some reserves—along with funds donated by you as individuals, families, foundations, businesses, and more—were invested in restoring our full-time education and outreach position and offering new programming, expanded school and community outreach, and buildings and grounds improvements. Total income dropped, but the 53% increase in education and outreach revenues largely offset the 18% decrease in box office revenues.
