SIGNAL ENSEMBLE THEATRE IS A PROFESSIONAL THEATRE COMPANY KNOWN FOR ITS ENSEMBLE ACTING AND PRODUCING A DIVERSE SLATE OF PLAYS. THIS TYPE OF ORGANIZATION GENERALLY QUALIFIES AS "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED" ALONG WITH MUSEUMS, LIBRARIES, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDING DIRECT SERVICE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE ORGANIZATION DOES MEET THE TEN PERCENT SUPPORT LIMITATION FOR 2013 AND DID ALSO MEET IT FOR 2012. SINCE NO SUPPORT IS RECEIVED FROM ANY GOVERNMENTAL UNITS IT MUST RELY ON GROSS RECEIPTS FROM ADMISSIONS AS WELL AS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR ITS FUNDING. THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IT SENDS OUT TARGETED EMAILS AND PLACES SIGNS IN THE LOBBY OF THE THEATRE SUGGESTING PATRONS MAKE ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS. FLYERS PROMOTING THE ORGANIZATION ARE PASSED OUT AT COMMUNITY EVENTS AND THERE IS AN ANNUAL FUNDRAISER AT A DOWNTOWN CHICAGO HOTEL. IT ALSO APPLIES FOR GRANTS FROM OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT. THE ORGANIZATION DOES HAVE ONE MAJOR SOURCE OF SUPPORT BUT IS ALWAYS SEEKING OTHER CONTRIBUTORS AND BENEFACTORS WITH THE HOPE OF EXPANDING THE BASE OF DONORS. THE GOVERNING BODY IS COMPOSED OF THREE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD OF ACTING AND PLAY PRODUCTION. THESE INDIVIDUALS SELECT PLAYS TO PRODUCE THAT WILL BE OF INTEREST TO DIVERSE GROUPS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. PLAYS ARE PERFORMED ON A CONTINUING BASIS WHICH IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE ORGANIZATION IS "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED".
