Patron Opportunities

We are a non-profit organization that depends on advertiser and patron support. Our playbills get high readership among our audiences of more than 5000, becoming souvenirs for many. We produce the playbill ourselves, going directly to our advertisers and patrons to ensure that we truly benefit from their generosity. We have created new patron categories to better acknowledge individual supporters and instituted a sponsorship program for those who would like to get more bang for their buck. Your support truly helps our not-for-profit organization offset the show production costs which range between $90,000 and $105,000.Advertising specifications and patron classifications can be found below.Ticket sales cover only about 60% of our operating and production costs.
