Overview

Mission

The streetsigns center for literature and performance is a performing arts and educational center based in pittsboro, nc. The center presents and develops new literary adaptations, self-created theatrical works, innovative new plays, and bold re-imagining of classics.

What it reported doing in 2024

Streetsigns continued its partnership with the process series: new works in development, whose 2024-25 season, yes, and...," celebrated the voices of the artists through whose eyes we see our world anew and the process through which those artists arrive at the works we see. The season brought everything from improv comedy to cello improvisation to a one- person show featuring more than twenty-five different characters to a new rock banjo opera.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
