FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION MISSION STARLIGHT THEATRE ASSOCIATION OF KANSAS CITY, INC., A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, IS DEDICATED TO CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH LIVE ARTS EXPERIENCES THAT ENTERTAIN, INSPIRE, AND ENGAGE, AND STRIVES TO BE THE HOME FOR ACCESSIBLE LIVE ARTS EXPERIENCES FOR ALL GENERATIONS. STARLIGHT ENRICHES THE KANSAS CITY REGION FOR ALL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS BY BUILDING APPRECIATION FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS, MAKING LIVE THEATRE AND MUSIC AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE, PROVIDING SUPERIOR ARTS EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS, AND DELIVERING EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. A BELOVED KANSAS CITY CULTURAL TRADITION, STARLIGHT DEVOTES SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO PRESERVING AND ENHANCING ITS HOME CAMPUS IN SWOPE PARK AND CREATING NEW MEMORIES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. PRESENTING LIVE BROADWAY THEATRE SINCE 1951, THE NONPROFIT STARLIGHT THEATRE ASSOCIATION IS KANSAS CITY'S OLDEST AND LARGEST PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATION. THE ASSOCIATION OPERATES, PROGRAMS AND MAINTAINS THE LARGEST OUTDOOR STAGE IN THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL AS THE 16-ACRE STARLIGHT THEATRE COMPLEX. THE THEATRE SEATS APPROXIMATELY 8,000 AND IS LOCATED IN SWOPE PARK, THE LARGEST PARK IN KANSAS CITY. WHILE FUNDING ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS OF $1,339,369 FOR THE STARLIGHT VENUE, THE ASSOCIATION ALSO RAISES FUNDS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS, INCLUDING BROADWAY MUSICALS, CONCERTS, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SINCE 2000, THE ASSOCIATION HAS CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN $31 MILLION OF PRIVATELY FUNDED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE KANSAS CITY, MO.-OWNED STARLIGHT THEATRE, OFFSETTING LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL LOADS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, STARLIGHT RECORDED MORE THAN $1.4 MILLION OF DEPRECIATION EXPENSES RELATED TO THE THEATRE FACILITY, EQUIPMENT, AND OFFICES.

THE NUMBER OF LIVE PERFORMANCES AND CONCERTS ATTENDANCE RETURNED TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS IN THE SUMMER OF 2022. BROADWAY THEATRE AUDIENCES, HOWEVER, LAGGED IN LINE WITH NATIONAL BROADWAY AND REGIONAL TOURING TRENDS, AND ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE SLOWER TO RECOVER. ADDITIONALLY, EXPENSES INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AGAINST PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS IN ALMOST ALL CATEGORIES, MOST NOTABLY IN LABOR. AS A RESULT OF POST-PANDEMIC REALITIES, STARLIGHT IS EVALUATING ITS TRADITIONAL BUSINESS MODEL TO EVOLVE TO MEET THE FUTURE, INCLUDING CHANGES TO ITS PERFORMANCE SERIES, PRICING, AND WITH A STRONG FOCUS ON PROGRAMMING THAT MAXIMIZES PAID TICKET UTILIZATION AND SEATING CAPACITY OF STARLIGHT'S NEARLY 8,000 SEATS FOR SUMMER PERFORMANCES.
