Dear Friends, Donors, Members and Community Members,

Message from the Chairmen

2

We are pleased to report to you on the conclusion of another successful

year at the Count Basie Theatre.

This was an important year for the Theatre. As a threshold matter, our

Theatre was brought to life by a variety of quality programs over 178 nights

with shows that included Grammy, Tony and Academy Award-winning

artists, as well as emerging artists and musicians, school children and mem-

bers of community theater and dance troupes. The breadth and quality of

our programming contributes mightily to our reputation as one of the State’s

top venues for both artists and audiences. Without duplicating too much of

the information that is already contained within these pages, it is worth

highlighting that total attendance increased for the third year in a row, to

187,381, proving yet again the critical need for the programs and services

that the Theatre provides to our community.

Of equal if not greater importance is the fact that we continue to grow

and have reason to be proud of the accomplishments of our arts education

program. The Performing Arts Academy served the most students it has

ever served in a year. It included dozens of students with limited resources

for whom tuition was waived, thanks in part to the generous support we

receive from our patrons. On top of that, hundreds of students in the local

schools were provided with complementary music, dance and theatre class-

es by our Outreach Program. We are proud to have successfully expanded

the reach and relevance of our artistic and educational programming over

the past few years.

The work of the Theatre is animated by encouragement and support from

all of those who love the Basie and support its nonprofit mission.

Fundraising effective enough to balance the Theatre’s annual budget, make

good on our long-term obligations, and finance the continued improvement

of the building itself is a challenge even in the best of times. The current eco-

nomic climate makes it more challenging than ever. We are pleased to

report, however, that with the help of literally thousands of supporters just

like you, we were able to balance our budget and earmark funds for the

repayment of the debt incurred in connection with the renovation work that

has restored the grandeur of the Theatre’s auditorium and façade.

The many successes of the 2011 fiscal year are documented within these

pages, and we hope you will take the time to review this report. The Count

Basie Theatre exists to serve its community. Our goal in producing this report

each year is to provide the community at large with a transparent “look” at our

operation, and to encourage your continued and increased support.

In terms of management, this year we said goodbye to Rusty Young, the

long-time CEO of the Count Basie Theatre Foundation. We were fortunate

to secure the services of Mark Hodges, a former member of the Theatre’s

Board of Trustees with decades of leadership experience in the corporate

sector, as our Interim Foundation CEO during the transition period. Numa

Saisselin, CEO of the theatre since 2002, remains in place. With Mark and

Numa, and the dedicated professionals who work with them, our core man-

agement is as strong as ever.

October is the time of year when terms of office expire for Board

Members and officers. This year, one of us (Russ Lucas) continues as

Chairman of the Count Basie Theatre Foundation, while the other (Dave

Cooner) will step down as Chairman of the Count Basie Theatre, but remain

on the Board’s Executive Committee. We are fortunate to have a “deep

bench,” and are pleased that Ray Moser, a member of the Board since 2004

and its current Vice Chair, will succeed Dave as the next Chairman of the

Theatre’s Board of Trustees.

Within the pages of this report it is our pleasure to recognize the time, tal-

ent and support, financial and otherwise, of the individuals, businesses and

entities that have helped the Basie this year. The Count Basie Theatre is a

nonprofit corporation, but its engine drives the local economy in meaning-

ful and tangible ways. The economic impact of the Basie’s activity on the

community was more than $12.5 million this year.

We hope you share our pride in our collective accomplishments, and will

continue to support the Theatre and its work in the coming year. There are

great things ahead for the award-winning Count Basie Theatre, and we look

forward to sharing them with you.
