Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

BUILDING ON A CENTURY OF TRADITION, THE MOUNTAIN PLAY ASSOCIATION PRODUCES ENRICHING THEATRICAL EXPERIENCES THAT PROMOTE LIFELONG APPRECIATION FOR LIVE PERFORMING ARTS, AND CULMINATES IN AN ANNUAL, SPECTACULAR, OUTDOOR PRODUCTION THAT STRENGTHENS THE COMMUNITY AND NURTURES APPRECIATION OF MOUNT TAMALPAIS.

  • WE PRODUCE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCES IN THE HISTORIC CUSHING MEMORIAL AMPHITHEATRE, AN OUTDOOR, GREEK-STYLE STONE THEATRE BUILT BY THE WPA AND NESTLED AT THE TOP OF MOUNT TAMALPAIS, OVERLOOKING THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY, AS WELL AS INDOOR & ONLINE PERFORMANCES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AT EACH PERFORMANCE, LOW FEE TRANSPORTATION TO THE THEATRE FROM THREE SITES IN MILL VALLEY IS PROVIDED FOR PATRONS IN SCHOOL BUSES. RETURN TRANSPORTATION IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE BY THE ORGANIZATION. AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETATION IS PROVIDED AT SOME PERFORMANCES. LOCAL AGENCIES PARTICIPATE IN OUR "DAY ON THE MOUNTAIN" COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM, RECEIVING FREE TICKETS, ROUNDTRIP TRANSPORTATION, T-SHIRTS, LUNCH AND A GUIDED HIKE IN THE STATE PARK. WE ALSO PROVIDE TEACHING ARTISTS FOR AFTER SCHOOL STUDENTS AND PROVIDE A THEATRE PROGRAM USING DRAMA SKILLS TO PROVIDE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH A SAFE SPACE TO EXPLORE, CREATE AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES. WE WORK TO INTEGRATE OUR ANNUAL PROGRAMMING WITH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, DEEPENING THE BONDS BETWEEN AUDIENCE AND THE ARTS, THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS, EDUCATION, COLLABORATION AND FUN

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
