Wetaskiwin Theatre Society is a fast-growing community theatre in central Alberta that earns an A+ Trust Grade by directing 99.2% of spending to programs — the highest possible efficiency for an arts organization. With revenue tripling over recent years and a volunteer-driven model that keeps compensation to just 1.8% of revenue, this is a theatre company that puts almost every dollar on stage.

Our Verdict: An exceptionally lean community theatre that channels virtually all of its revenue into programming, with strong growth and healthy reserves — a compelling choice for donors who want their arts dollars to go directly to the stage.
