Budget - Fiscal Year 2019

Broken Nose Theatre prides itself on being one of the city’s leading Pay-What-You-Can theatre companies in the city of Chicago, allowing our patrons to set their own ticket price and removing the financial barrier that prevents so many from experiencing live theatre.

But Economic Accessibility also equals Economic Transparency, and in an effort to be as transparent as possible for our audience members and prospective donors, we at BNT have made the decision to share our budget for the fiscal year of 2019. Below are our costs - projected and actual - and the total expenditures.
