Overview
Mission
Produce live theater in the city of Seattle, with shows that feature strong female characters and with an emphasis on work from local female playwrights.
What it reported doing in 2024
An in-school playwriting residency program at Hawthorne Elementary and Thornton Creek Elementary. Our teaching artists work with 2nd - 5th graders to write a play based on a classroom subject they are studying. The students then rehearse and perform the play they have written.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
