Become A Sponsor
Why become a Corporate Sponsor?
A typical performing arts theater derives 65% of its operating revenue from ticket sales. The remaining capital must come from grants and corporate sponsors. Your sponsorship will help support:
- Live Theater Productions
- Youth Theater Programs
- Live Concerts and Professional Events
We are growing our audiences and expanding our exposure throughout the local community. Rather than asking for outright corporate donations, we developed this program so corporations can help support us. Please consider joining our current sponsors and “Share Our Spotlight”.
