Most of the performing arts related establishments are "Non Profit org", does not mean that the owner's don't make any profits.
The business's may be non profit, not their own salaries etc, which is adjusted to make them enough profit.
You won't be seeing a Dance/music/acting etc. classes flourish if that would have been the case.

Get a life bro.
Not only TRTC, but all other players who have applied for licenses are not fools to pay such high fees and go through this gruelling process to get a business license if there were no profits.
The fact that Warren Buffet and other's pharmacies too want the pie of pot business, speaks for itself.
You my friend will not get my cheap shares.
