North Shore Music Theatre: $137,682 and counting

How much of these donations is going to pay for the salaries of the executives of the theater? According to the latest tax returns from this "non profit" organization, one senior manager earns more than $200k a year, another over $100k a year, and several over $90k a year. I think the IRS should redefine what exactly is a "non profit" because senior managers are obviously profiting.

While I agree that the senior managers have certainly profited in the past, that is no longer the case. One of the two jobs you mentioned above has been completely eliminated (along with many other lower paying positions) and while our most senior executive does make more money than I personally believe is necessary, he does make significantly less than his predecessor. NONE of the donated money will contribute to the salaries of these senior managers, as they are all being laid-off with the rest of us. As of January 13, the theatre will be left with one facilities manager to make sure there is plowed access for fire trucks, one person to finish all unemployment-related paperwork (one day per week), and one person to maintain our phones and website (also one day per week). Like I said above, I don't disagree that the executives of the past were over-paid, however, that is not what caused the current problems.

Thank you for the information, Allison. However, the executive greed of the past has certainly led up to the current problems. It adds up over the years and look where you and the organization are now.
