Members of the Little Theatre On the Square board and staff were in attendance to update the council on where the theatre is financially with their bills to the city and explain what they are trying to do to keep current with expenses.
John Stephens, executive artistic director for LTOTS, said the spring season had been well-attended and going into the production of Mermaid was the highest subscription show that LTOTS has had. Currently ticket sales are down from last year, and he has not been able to figure out what has caused this slump. The theatre has had to eliminate cost of living raises, look to ways to reduce cost, and has raised additional funds from theatre patrons.
