We can’t say enough about our sponsors. But we can say tax-deduction. Sure, all sponsorships and donations tax-deductible, but the great thing is how much they help our troupe produce quality live theatre and share it with our community.
There are a lot of financial resources required when we produce a show. We pay royalties to the playwright, a percentage goes to the CRCA who owns and manages the theatre, we buy supplies for set design and construction, there are costumes, props, scripts (no, really, we use scripts in rehearsal) and all kinds of hardware. There’s candy and drinks for the concession stand and even some paid technical folks, too. Those dollars we spend go right back into our community and to charity and non-profit organizations that we adopt during our season. And each of our sponsors help us fulfill our vision: To provide opportunities for community enrichment through participation, education and exposure to live theatre.
Here’s how you or your organization can sponsor the performing arts in our community:
SEASON SPONSORSHIPS
Platinum Sponsorship:
Donation of $2,000 grants you or your organization mention of this status in the program and all marketing and publicity materials (posters, flyers, write-up in The Rockdale Citizen and Atlanta-Journal Constitution, etc.), a full-page color ad in the program for the entire season, and four tickets per season.
Gold Sponsorship:
Donation of $1,000 grants you or your organization the same as the Platinum Level above, except that advertisement in the program would be a 1/2-page color ad and the sponsor receives two tickets per season.
Silver Sponsorship:
Donation of $500 guarantees you or your organization the same as the Platinum Level above, except that advertisement in the program would be a 1/4-page color ad and the sponsor receives two tickets per season.
PERFORMANCE SPONSORSHIPS
Whole House Sponsorship:
Donation of $1,500, buys all seats for one night of the show. The sponsor receives all 83 seats to fill as desired, one free drink ticket for each person who attends, a reception with the cast after the show, and a 1/2-page color ad in that show’s program.
Corporate Sponsorship:
Donation of $250 sponsor’s one evening’s performance. The sponsor gives the curtain speech before the show starts and can place their marketing materials at the concession stand and other places around the theater. You would also receive a 1/2-page color ad in the program and two tickets to that performance.
Concessions Sponsorship:
Donation of $50 sponsors the concessions for one performance of the show. The sponsor receives a placard at the concessions counter and mention in the program.
