What they do
IRONS IN THE FIRE is FAULT LINE THEATRES YEAR-ROUND READING SERIES of NEW PLAYS IN DEVELOPMENT. EACH PUBLIC PRESENTATION of THESE WORKS IN PROGRESS is HOSTED IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT APPROPRIATELY CELEBRATES THAT PARTICULAR NEW SCRIPT, and is SUPPORTED BY A SOCIAL EVENT THAT BRINGS THE DOWNTOWN THEATRE COMMUNITY TOGETHER IN A FUN and MEANINGFUL WAY. THESE READING EVENTS ARE THE CULMINATION of A FEW HOURS, A FEW WEEKS, or EVEN A FEW MONTHS of REHEARSAL, DEPENDING ON WHAT EACH PROJECT REQUIRES. THIS FORMAT for BOTH PROCESS and PRESENTATION is INTENTIONALLY MALLEABLE, AS WE KNOW EVERY PLAY and EVERY PLAYWRIGHT REQUIRES SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE WANT to GIVE ARTISTS WE LOVE A SANDBOX to PLAY FREELY WITHIN. WE ALSO WANT to GIVE YOU, OUR AUDIENCE, THE OPPORTUNITY to JOIN US IN THE PROCESS of CREATING NEW WORK.

Money made simple

- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $34,560 for AARON ROSSINI (BOARD MEMBER, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
