Ticket sales cover less than half the cost of our total operations. As a nonprofit organization, nearly half of our annual budget comes from philanthropic contributions. CTC relies on the generosity of our community to create extraordinary theatre experiences that foster curiosity, empathy, and imagination in patrons of all ages.
