CenterStage in Lake Forest is an Illinois Not for Profit
Corporation. It is qualified as a publicly supported community theatre organization under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. In furtherance of the charitable purposes
for which it was organized, CenterStage provides not only a source of live entertainment
to its audiences, but more importantly a wealth of educational opportunity in theatre arts
for all members of the community. Its mostly volunteer casts and crews represent a
kaleidoscope of young and old, dedicated amateurs and aspiring professionals, seasoned
veterans and rookies. Through the years, our productions have served as a foundation for
many a career in theatre and the related arts. Many more have discovered their lifelong
love of theatre, of literature, of music, of art, of design and other creative pursuits
while working on our shows.
CenterStage carries out its mission with three important sources of revenue- donations,
ticket sales and program ads. Because the number of organizations which solicit the
business community for paid advertising is large, program ads represent a limited source
of revenue. Although ticket sales represent the largest single source of revenue, in order
to keep ticket prices within reach of the widest range of people, including the elderly on
fixed incomes and youngsters who benefit most from the educational experience of theatre,
it is essential to receive donations sufficient to defray substantial portions of
operating and production expenses each season.
As a 501(c)(3) qualified organization, gifts made to CenterStage are tax-deductible
charitable contributions. It is qualified to receive matching funds from companies which
offer them for the benefit of employees. All monetary gifts will be acknowledged in the
program distributed at each performance. Single gifts of $300 or more will be acknowledged
in writing as required by IRS rules.
