For purposes of transparency, we have released a public Transparency subsite that accounts for all SLSC (SL Shakespeare Company) public funds. Rest assured that your dollars are spent right, and that you’re kept in the know on these matters. http://transparency.SLshakespeare.com
Please note that though we are currently supported completely via inworld means, our actual production costs far exceed what we have raised. Artistic quality has been the bane of the SLSC’s existence; you should know better than to judge us based our funds listed.
