INVEST IN CIVIC

Becoming a Civic Theatre sponsor is making

an investment in community theatre and West

Michigan. As a sponsor, you are setting the stage for

endless students and volunteers to gain confidence

and creatively explore in a safe, professional

environment. You are providing the thrill and delight

of live theatre for members of this community and

beyond. You are helping us bring stories to life that

reflect on history and foster social awareness.

We want your sponsorship experience to be a

positive one, so we will work closely with you to

customize your benefits to best meet your needs. For

complete sponsorship information, contact Nancy

BRIGHT LIGHTS ON CIVIC

Receive maximum exposure to a select group of more than

300 business professionals and community leaders at our

annual fundraising luncheon.

COMMUNITY NIGHT

Bring the experience of live theatre to new audiences. Your

sponsorship underwrites ticket costs, providing a FREE NIGHT of

theatre to students, seniors and members of our community.

FRIDAY MASTER CLASS SERIES

Our Summer Repertory is designed for youth considering a

career or college major in theatre. Your sponsorship gives

Summer Repertory students a chance to engage face-to-face with

theatre professionals from prestigious theatres from areas like

New York or Chicago. This class runs for four weeks.

LOW SENSORY NIGHT

Make theatre possible for those who might not have the

opportunity to experience it otherwise. Reduced sound

volume, adjusted lights and an opportunity to learn about

the show ahead of time make productions a more pleasant

experience for individuals with diverse sensory needs and

their families/caregivers.

ON THE HORIZON | EXCLUSIVE ($3,500)

We are looking for one special partner to bring our annual

endowment event to the next level. This sponsorship puts

you in front of a small, focused group of individuals age

55 and older with a vested interest in learning more about

financial investment and charitable giving opportunities.

experience – from audition to performance – culminating in two

public (and frequently sold-out) performances.

SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT | EXCLUSIVE ($1,500)

Each year the season announcement garners interest and attention

from thousands in our community. Be our partner in unveiling the

NEW season this February. Your business will be showcased on

press release, social media, email and website announcements.

VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION

Each year, more than 600 volunteers share 65,000 hours of their

time to make Civic Theatre’s mission comes to life. Help celebrate
