GEDDES, N.Y. — The Lakeview Amphitheater produced an operating profit of $150,247 on total operating revenue of $4.2 million for the 11 months ending Nov. 30, according to the Onondaga County government.

The Lakeview Amphitheater, located in the town of Geddes and managed by Philadelphia-area–based SMG, on Thursday delivered interim financial statements to Steve Morgan, chief fiscal officer for Onondaga County, the county said in a news release.

“We are pleased that the Lakeview Amphitheater has generated strong operating revenues and posted a profit in its very first full season,” Morgan said in the release. “Lakeview Amphitheater management utilized its working capital very efficiently and as a result, the 2017 county budget does not include any funds for operating the Lakeview Amphitheater.”
