  • There are two related entities in charge of the Shubert theater interests: the Shubert Organization, a commercial firm that operates the businesses, and the Shubert Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation that wholly owns the Shubert Organization. This is not a situation conducive to financial transparency.ebooks/Donahue, Tim & Patterson, Jim/Stage Money_ The Business of the Professional Theater - Tim Donahue & Jim Patterson.txt
  • The Shubert Organization, Inc., operates seventeen Broadway theaters, one off-Broadway theater, and one theater each in Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. In addition it operates what is probably the second largest internet-ticketing service in the United States, Telecharge (also called Shubert Ticketing, Inc.) Some Telecharge cli…ebooks/Donahue, Tim & Patterson, Jim/Stage Money_ The Business of the Professional Theater - Tim Donahue & Jim Patterson.txt
  • The Shubert Organization is wholly owned by the not-for-profit Shubert Foundation and thus the organization does not publish its financial results. Only publicly traded corporations are required to publish annual reports. The Shubert Foundation, as a not-for-profit, makes annual IRS filings that are publicly available. The foundation's 20…ebooks/Donahue, Tim & Patterson, Jim/Stage Money_ The Business of the Professional Theater - Tim Donahue & Jim Patterson.txt
  • The foundation's reimbursement to its officers, directors, and trustees is modest. Of the chairman, president, three vice presidents, treasurer, assistant treasurer, secretary, and assistant secretary, only the president is paid: $88,558 for five hours' work a week. All the individuals, however, also serve the Shubert Organization in high…ebooks/Donahue, Tim & Patterson, Jim/Stage Money_ The Business of the Professional Theater - Tim Donahue & Jim Patterson.txt
  • In the foundation's 2005 IRS 990 filing, the Shubert Organization paid the Shubert Foundation $15 million in dividends. Why $15 million? No one knows outside the Shubert Organization and the Shubert Foundation. One might assume the amount has some relation to the profits of the Shubert Organization, but, since its books are private, there…ebooks/Donahue, Tim & Patterson, Jim/Stage Money_ The Business of the Professional Theater - Tim Donahue & Jim Patterson.txt
  • The IRS filing estimates the fair market value of the Shubert Organization at a little over $49 million, including the value of the eighteen theaters and the real estate on which they sit. It's hard to know if the fair market value stated for the Shubert Organization is realistic. Few Broadway theaters have changed hands in an arm's lengt…ebooks/Donahue, Tim & Patterson, Jim/Stage Money_ The Business of the Professional Theater - Tim Donahue & Jim Patterson.txt

What this page does not know

  • What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
  • Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
  • Birth or death year. Neither is on the record.
  • Any biography.
  • Any portrait. 1,626 of 7,139 people have one, so this is the usual case rather than the exception.
  • Which of the credits above the roles on this record — composer — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
