Analysis
NAICS 71111 is the 2022 NAICS industry for theater companies and dinner theaters, part of 7111 (Performing Arts Companies).
It has only one more detailed code, 711110, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 3,490 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 68,930 people at an average annual payroll of $39,113 per employee (8th percentile of national industries). 51% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 3% and employment rose 2%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 4 codes at this level within Performing Arts Companies, with 33.2% of them.
