Overview
Mission
Legacy Stage grew out of the passion of local artists to create opportunities for exceptional storytelling and theatre education in the North State. Our mission is to grow and sustain professional theatre in Butte County.
What it reported doing in 2025
Fringe Festival provided a weekend of performances at six venues across town, offering open-access performing arts opportunities to approximately 3000 community members.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 73% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
