Theatre Gargantua is a 32-year-old Toronto-based theatre company that has grown revenue at a 7.2% compound rate while directing 83% of spending to programs — well above the 66.8% peer median for community benefit organizations. The company's fragile 1.7 months of reserves is typical for performing arts organizations that operate season-to-season.
Our Verdict: A well-established independent theatre company with strong program delivery and lean operations. Donors supporting Toronto's performing arts scene will find a financially disciplined organization, though the thin reserve cushion means it runs close to the margin each season.
