The Greater Ocean City Theatre Company is involved not only in producing shows throughout the year, but in sponsoring educational programs in the community, such as the above after-school drama program at Ocean City Intermediate School.
#GivingTuesday provides the perfect opportunity for those who believe in the mission of OCTC to stand up, give and show their support.
As a nonprofit organization, the Ocean City Theatre Company relies on the financial support of those who believe in our work. This support allows us to consistently deliver quality productions, which provide first-rate educational and outreach programs to residents and visitors of the greater Ocean City region.
Ticket sales alone account for only about 60 percent of the funds needed to bring live theatrical productions to children, seniors and general audiences every year. Production expenses, including royalties for permission to perform shows, cast/staff salaries, housing, costumes and sets, not to mention general overhead costs associated with day-to-day operations are immense and frequently rising.
In fact, as we look towards the end of 2014, OCTC is faced with the scary truth that our budget has a shortfall of $15,000. This shortfall is simply because our ticket income and education tuition only covers the costs associated with the specific production. We are unable to raise the extra money that is needed to cover the day-to-day operations that go into running a nonprofit company.
Please make your tax-deductible donation today, and join with us to produce high-quality live theater in America’s Greatest Family Resort.
