THE MISSION OF THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE IS TO ENRICH THE CULTURAL LIFE OF GREAT LOS ANGELES AND THE UCLA COMMUNITY THROUGH PLAYS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THAT INFORM, ENTERTAIN AND INSPIRE OTHERS TO HELP MEET ITS MISSION. THE GEFFEN FOSTERS AN ACTIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LOS ANGELES ENTERTAINMENT AND OFFERS A SUPPORTIVE, INVITING ENVIRONMENT FOR ARTISTS AND THEATE PROFESSIONALS. LAUNCHED IN 1994, THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE BLOSSOMED FROM A WESTSIDE PRESENTING HOUSE TO A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTS INSTITUTION. UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF GIL CATES, THE GEFFEN HAS GROWN INTO A VIBRANT CULTURAL LANDMARK ON THE WESTSIDE OF LOS ANGELES. NOTED FOR ITS INTIMACY AND CELEBRATED FOR ITS WORLD-RENOWNED MIX OF CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY PLAYS, PROVOCATIVE NEW WORKS AND SECOND PRODUCTIONS, THE COMPANY HAS PRESENTED A REPERTOIRE OF AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTIONS THAT HAVE EARNED CRITICAL ACCLAIM AND INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION. THE GEFFEN HAS PRODUCED AMERICAN AND WORLD PERMIERS OF SOME OF THE MOST CHALLENGING WORK ON THE CONTEMPORARY STAGE. HONORED WITH MORE THAN 40 REGIONAL THEATER AWARDS, THE PLAYHOUSE IS ALSO A PROUD RECIPIENT OF GRANTS FROM THE EDGERTON NEW AMERICAN PLAY FOUNDATION AND THE STEINBERG CHARITABLE TRUST, ENABLING THE THEATER TO CONTINUE CONTRIBUTING TO THE CULTURAL CANON BY COMMISSIONING NEW WORKS. IN 2004, THE GEFFEN BROKE GROUND FOR ITS $17.5 MILLION CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TO RENOVATE AND EXPAND THE MAIN AUDITORIUM, CONSTRUCT THE AUDREY SKIRBALL KENIS THEATER, AN INTIMATE 120-SEAT ADDITION THAT SERVES AS A SECOND STATE. SOME OF THE RENOVATIONS INCLUDED RECONFIGURING OF THE MAIN STAGE, INSTALLATION OF AN ELEVATOR, STATE-OF-THE-ART HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS, EXPANDED DRESSING ROOMS AND GREEN ROOM FOR ARTISTS, AND EXPANDED OFFICE SPACE TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF THE COMPANY. THE NEW SEATING PLAN INCREASES COMFORT AND IMPROVES SIGHT LINES. STAIRS LEADING TO THE MAIN STAGE AUDITORIUM WERE ELIMINATED TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY. THE AUDREY SKIRBALL KENIS THEATER AT THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE GIVES OUR THEATER THE RICH OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT NEW PLAYS, DEVELOP ORIGINAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTIONS, AND EXPAND OUR EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAMS. THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE WELCOMES AN AUDIENCE OF MORE THAN 130,000 EACH YEAR. 649083 EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS SEE MISSION & HISTORY STATEMENT ON LINE 4A 10387501 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 201 0 1 249 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 35 34 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X BEHNAZ ATAEE 3102086500 10886 Le Conte Avenue Los Angeles CA 90024 ADI GREENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ARTHUR N GREENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 B SCOTT MINERD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARRY MEYER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BETH BEHRS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARLA MALDEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA P STAFFORD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR BRAD EDGERTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR GENE D BLOCK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR GERALD S LEVEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRED SPEKTOR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GIL CATES JR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 182000 0 6798 GINNY MANCINI SECRETARY 1.00 X 0 0 0 HAROLD BROWN TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOLLY RICE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOWARD TENENBAUM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOAN KALOUSTIAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN BRIGHT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA BERNSTEIN RUBIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORETTA EVERETT KAUFMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORRAINE SPURGE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK FLEISCHER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARTHA HENDERSON CO-CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY ANN CLOYD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CENTENO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAMELA ROBINSON HOLLANDER CO-CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA K APPLEGATE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA L GLASER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD SHERMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SAM GORES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN A OLSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUE FLEISHMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN MALLORY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TERI SCHWARTZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 Glorya Kaufman DIRECTOR (THRU 10/2015) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Herbert Gelfand CHAIRMAN EMERITUS 1.00 X 0 0 0 LOREN ROTHSCHILD DIRECTOR (THRU 11/2015) 1.00 X 0 0 0 BEHNAZ ATAEE CFO 40.00 X 154962 0 11259 RANDALL ARNEY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 40.00 X 201691 0 11565 ELLEN CATANIA DIRECTOR OF MAJOR GIFTS 40.00 X 129462 0 8809 668115 0 38431 4 0 1 0 Theater Direct Inc 4213 W Burbank Blvd Burbank CA 91505 Telemarketing 619537 Scenic Highlights 10830 Cantara St Sun Valley CA 91352 Set building/production 577687 RSM Consulting 724 Alta Ave Santa Monica CA 90402 Fundraising consultant 260000 4wall los angeles inc 5435 W SAN FERNANDO RD Los Angeles CA 90039 LIGHTING AND ELECTRIC EQUIP RENTAL 155335 MOGO MARKETING & MEDIA INC 21 Tamal Vista Blvd Suite 207 Corte Madera CA 94925 MARKETING 140800 18 989331 84560 3996704 658011 5070595 ticket sales 711110 6566017 6566017 other theater revenue 711110 493154 493154 7059171 40716 40716 8568 8568 2250000 2250601 -601 -601 -601 615239 989331 615239 0 139165 86891 52274 52274 118889 62335 56554 56554 12287277 7059171 0 157511 558309 170660 276440 111209 4286917 3618995 357273 310649 250782 250782 194172 123129 46185 24858 500674 413139 52013 35522 24166 17014 7152 30418 30418 127351 127351 1987580 1713489 274091 618173 384095 138647 95431 118641 30935 67631 20075 312067 312067 319179 319179 504713 486770 7523 10420 159368 106065 18172 35131 243631 243631 51339 51339 Production Expenses 1720117 1720117 Professional Expenses 759998 477434 27002 255562 12767595 10387501 1079795 1300299 443149 817525 770296 291988 11607671 10746555 111426 110443 2896 3245 1230770 895732 22133696 6580346 15531669 15553350 4904828 5300625 34602705 33719463 403181 374910 3452120 3077467 3855301 3452377 X 17034398 16290151 13713006 10976935 3000000 30747404 30267086 34602705 33719463 -480318 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4860218 4546238 5416727 14654390 4983704 34461277 7074622 6733726 9070112 7463401 7051857 37393718 11934840 11279964 14486839 22117791 12035561 71854995 1531188 1166195 1587838 10567751 1875747 16728719 0 1531188 1166195 1587838 10567751 1875747 16728719 55126276 53841 42121 71268 47252 49284 263766 53841 42121 71268 47252 49284 263766 77520 60951 56154 85983 52274 332882 699751 129667 127278 88244 126203 1171143 12765952 11512703 14741539 22339270 12263322 73622786 0.74880 0.74610 0.00360 0.00370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 3004576 3004576 0.00000 0.99840 0.00160 1 0 17769518 4856826 12912692 1677005 1381315 295690 2687173 342205 2344968 15553350 Funds held by UCLA 5300625 5300625 X 13184410 132668 132668 13051742 -764465 -764465 12287277 13664728 132668 764465 897133 12767595 0 12767595 Part V, Line 4: The purpose of the endowment is to to provide funds for future operations.
