ANNUAL REPORT

2008/09 SEASON OUR MISSION The mission of the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center is to serve as a gathering place for the community to engage in educational opportunities and enhance understanding and enjoyment of life through the creation and presentation of the arts.

ANNUAL REPORT — 3 — DeAR FRIeNDS OF THe FOx CITIeS P.A.C .,

As the 2009/10 season gets underway at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, we invite you to pause for a moment and reflect on this past year’s many highlights and achievements. Following a wonderful fifth anniversary season in 2007/08, the Center continued to develop into a mature organization whose bright lights shown throughout the region as a close- to-home cultural destination and an artistic cornerstone in our very special community.

It is no secret that the economic conditions of this past year brought with it many challenges, to all of us as individuals, to this organization as a nonprofit and to our community as a part of a global society facing real, systemic distress. Yet as the Center’s 2008/09 season came to a close, we were left in awe of the foresight of this organization’s founders to envision a performing arts center that can withstand external pressures and remain a viable and sustainable part of this community. Thanks to incredible community support, the Center maintained its financial integrity with lean operations, a strong structure and a focused commitment to a mission that resonates in our community.

The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center’s team was proud to deliver some of its greatest programming to date as part of the 2008/09 season. With the Wisconsin premiere of the Broadway blockbuster Wicked, a heartwarming national broadcast of Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion”® and an education series that touched the lives of more than 27,000 students, we are proud to say that the Center’s presence in the Fox Cities is stronger than ever.

Speaking on behalf of the Center’s staff and board of directors, we feel extremely fortunate that the Fox Cities community has continued to value the Center’s programming and services. As ticket buyers, donors, volunteers and neighbors, the success of the Center is wholly dependent on your support and dedication to that original vision of a gathering place for the community, where people can connect with one another in shared experiences through the arts. Thank you for your commitment, dedication and support last season. We hope the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center had a positive impact on your life, during a time when we could all use an opportunity to lift our spirits.

Thank you, again, for your support. We will strive, in every effort, to exceed your expectations in the year ahead.

Warmest regards,

Susan Stockton, president Mike Weller, chairman of the board
