Why Sponsor a Show at Next Act?
By Tawnie Thompson, Development Manager
You’ve probably noticed that each show here at Next Act Theatre is sponsored by amazing members of our community who are passionate about the arts. Ticket revenue alone cannot support the important work that we do to share ideas and perspectives and to bring important stories to our stage. The support we receive from our generous sponsors is the first step to making each play at Next Act a reality.
Sponsorship is not without it perks! Next Act has three levels of sponsorship that each come with benefits. Sponsors receive:
- Their name listed in all of our publicity materials for their sponsored production, including 4,500 production postcards, 1,200+ program booklets, 2,700 “What’s Next” quarterly print newsletters, Next Act Lobby signage and the Next Act website, Facebook and Instagram pages
- Verbal recognition from the stage before each performance of your chosen play
- An invite to the First Rehearsal Celebration of their sponsored production
And, depending on their level of giving:
- At the $2,500 level: 2 complimentary tickets to use throughout the run of the show
- At the $5,000 level: 4 complimentary tickets to use throughout the run of the show
- At the $10,000 level: 8 complimentary tickets to use throughout the run of the show
A Next Act play simply wouldn’t be possible without the generous donations of our show sponsors. If you have an interest in sponsoring one of our productions, please reach out to Tawnie Thompson, Development Manager at tawnie@nextact.org or via phone at
