The GRSF is a non-profit organization which means all their financial
information needs to be published. Does anyone know where a person finds this? 
I have not found it online and have spent quite a bit of time looking.  If they
have not publicly posted this information, does someone out there know how to
go about requesting it?

I do know first hand a number of organizations both profit and non-profit who
have suffered significantly from Shakespeare's presence.  Readers of WOD can
say it is hearsay, I will not for the reason of confidentiality divulge the
name of these organizations. I am not a dishonest person nor do I dislike
Shakespeare, so I have no personal vendetta to say this.  My statement stands,
they have injured other arts endevours in this town. This is a fact.

I was in a City Managers office two years ago, right after a call had come in
from a Shakespeare organizer saying they had not reached their financial burden
the first year and would not be back the second year unless they could recover.
 We are talking hundreds of thousands of dollars here, not just a few bucks. 
Within weeks, organizations were reporting pull back or decrease in
sponsorships - I have no reason to make this up. I just pay attention.
