The Tulsa Voice “Best of Tulsa” ranked us as best performing arts company in Tulsa – fellow Tulsans voted on this category.

Donor Appreciation Day was April 26 with approximately 30 people in attendance. Billie encouraged people to attend next season when appreciation days are offered to join in on the experience and meet other donors from different levels.

Emerging Choreographers’ showcase was well attended and Billie complimented the talent of both dancers and our emerging choreographers. We have so much to be proud of so please attend and help spread the word about our performances and the talent of our dancers.

Last show of the season is Signature Series - May 6-8 & 13-15

Founders’ Society Preview and Dinner on Thursday (4.28.16) will be different than our previous dinners. The preview and dinner will be celebrating vintage roots, watching rehearsal in Studio C and eating on stage reflecting earlier days of Founders’ Society events.

Artistic Director’s Report: Marcello Angelini

We have hired Directors for the Hardesty Center for Dance Education! Andre and Cynthia Reyes taught with Boston Ballet School. They begin with Tulsa Ballet no later than June 14th and will also teach for the summer intensive. They will be Co-Principals with Andre focusing on the administrative side and outreach programs and Cindy focusing on teaching at Hardesty and overseeing the lower levels of both locations.

Italy Tour recap: Tour was a great success. Excellent media coverage and sold out audiences helped to make it a very successful tour. One international critic enthusiastically referred to Tulsa Ballet as “one of the top five most important ballet companies in the US.”

Approval of FY17 Budget: Dennis Cameron

Dennis noted that this was a “break-even” budget while the Hardesty Center opens and begins operations. Ticket sales goals are “fair but aggressive,” Budget also reflects hiring an extra part time finance assistant for Kay and an extra crew member to work shows, as required by the PAC.

Dennis presented a motion to the board to approve the FY17 budget upon recommendation from the Finance Committee and review by the Executive Committee. The motion carried .

Board Governance: Milt Wolff

Milt presented the slate of new board directors and officers for FY17 on behalf of Board Governance Committee, to be voted on at the Annual Meeting next month.

Icons & Idols Update: Susie Wellendorf

Next Icons & Idols will be held February 4th, 2017 and will focus on the 60th anniversary and Dorothy and the Prince of OZ.

Honorary Chair is Mollie Williford; Co-Patron Chairs will be: Corporate--Sarah Jane & Matt Gillett, Patron Renewal--Paul and Marydith Williams, and New Patron--Sheri Stinson. Kathy West will serve as Live Auction Marketing chair.

We have early commitments of $250,000 and we are still trying to procure early pledges.

Looking to get new committee members; please let Susie know by May 15, if interested.

CENTER FOR DANCE INCOME The CDE earned income amount includes only paid tuition and TBII performance revenue; it does not include $246,596 of monies given year-to-date specifically to cover tuition for scholarship students and education/outreach programs. The $246,596 is instead reflected in the Center for Dance Education (Contributed) line shown in the Contributed Income section. The year-to-date Earned CDE revenue is at 85% of the total year budget – essentially equal to the budget percentage progress last year at this time. CDE earned income is expected to be below budget for the year due to the ticket portion of the students’ tuition being counted in both CDE earned income and ticket revenue for budget purposes.

ENDOWMENT INCOME The 2015-2016 Endowment distribution was received on June 1, 2015 in an amount equal to budget.

OTHER EARNED INCOME Other Earned income is comprised of interest income, any set, costume or equipment rental income, and all other miscellaneous earned income. Current year to date results include $39,666 of set/costume rentals, $11,921 of ticket handling fees, $3,900 of program ad sales, $6,354 of billboard lease income and $2,343 of oil and gas royalties associated with receipt of mineral interests received from the Marguerite M. Reed Trust last year.

CONTRIBUTED INCOME Overall, year-to-date Total Contributed Income is at 95% of the total year budget. Although there are pluses and minuses among the various categories, overall Total Contributed Income is now expected to be slightly higher than budget for the year. This favorable variance is due primarily to the Rita Willis Trust catch-up payment of $100,000 combined with the unbudgeted Touring

Page 2 of 4

Tulsa Ballet Theatre, Inc. APRIL 2016 SEASON OPERATING REPORT Income partially offset by projected shortfalls in Foundations (primarily Pape Adams Foundation - $50K and Bovaird Foundation - $30K) and Individual gifts.

SALARIES, WAGES & BENEFITS - ADMIN Total year Administrative salaries and wages are on track to end lower than budget for the year due to health insurance savings and employee turnover.

ARTISTIC EXPENSES (INCLUDING SALARIES & PRODUCTION EXPENSES) Artistic salaries and wages along with production expenses are on track to meet budget for the year. Production expenses for the Studio K Creations series were approximately 5% under budget while the Taming of the Shrew production came in right on budget. The Nutcracker and Romeo & Juliet both ended slightly over budget bringing the YTD results to essentially equal to budget. Currently, Production expense includes over $16,000 of in kind expenses offset by the associated in kind revenue. Without this additional non-cash expense, Production expense is expected to end the year favorable to budget.

TOURING EXPENSES The Italy tour was not included in the original 2015-16 budget, but the net income/expense is now projected to be slightly negative. However, this negative amount is offset by the favorable Production expense variance noted above.

MARKETING EXPENSES Marketing expenses are in line with the budgeted marketing expenses by show. Radar DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES Development expenses are on track to meet budget for the year.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Administrative expenses are expected to be slightly higher than budget for the year due to higher temporary services and in-kind donation offsets (which are not budgeted, but offset by the associated in kind revenue).

FACILITY EXPENSES Facility expenses are slightly behind last year at this time due to the timing of cash needs for building maintenance. However, Facility expenses are still expected to stay within budget for the year.

CENTER FOR DANCE EDUCATION EXPENSES The Center for Dance Education expense line does not include CDE marketing and salaries which are reflected in the Salaries and Marketing lines. CDE expenses are running higher than last year at this time due to increased choreographer costs for On Your and a higher number of housing students for PTTF.
