One More Productions

What One More Productions does

One More Productions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit performing arts organization founded in 2005 and headquartered in Garden Grove, California, where it operates The GEM Theatre, a historic venue serving the Orange County community. The organization's core function is the production and presentation of live theatrical performances, with a current and upcoming slate that includes licensed musicals such as Footloose, Sweeney Todd, Bat Boy, and Fiddler on the Roof, alongside signature annual events such as Hearts for the Arts. Beyond ticketed productions, the organization runs a volunteer program (front-of-house and backstage roles), an audition notification system for prospective performers, and a charitable donation program that sustains its nonprofit mission to educate, support, and raise community awareness through live performance.

The underlying technology stack is minimal and non-proprietary: the organization operates a standard marketing website (thegemoc.com) and an integrated ticketing platform (purchase.thegemoc.com) for direct-to-consumer ticket sales, with no disclosed APIs, integrations, or proprietary software systems. Headcount is small (1-10 employees), and leadership comprises a Chief Artistic Director (Damien Lorton), Chief Operating Officer (Dan Baird), Chief Executive Director (Nicole Cassesso), Theater Manager (Victor Crisafulli), Musician Lead (Jeff Segal), and Box Office lead (Kara Dillard).

The business model combines two revenue streams: transactional ticket sales for individual performances and recurring/donation-based contributions from patrons supporting the nonprofit mission. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer through the organization's own website, with all productions staged at the single GEM Theatre venue. Customer concentration is on local community theater patrons and individual donors, with no enterprise, institutional, or commercial accounts disclosed. Marketing relies on the official website, an email mailing list for audition and season announcements, and community outreach via volunteer and audition programs that drive organic word-of-mouth promotion.
