Overview

Mission

Presentation of theatrical productions for community entertainment and education. Currently in a period of re-organization.

What it reported doing in 2025

Centerstage Productions is a theatrical production organization. Expenses are for the storage of theater costumes, properties, lighting instruments, and set pieces. This also includes hiring TigerFish Productions as an independent contractor for the production of the stage play Tooth of Crime. This was first of its kind immersive theatrical production in Birmingham, AL. The collaboration served as a means of relaunching our non-profit after the twenty year abeyance.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 74% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
