Show Sponsorship
Sponsoring a Purple Rose Theatre Company production is making a personal investment in American theatre and in a community we all share that stretches across our nation.
It’s not an investment in an abstraction. It’s an investment in one of America’s very best professional theatres — The Purple Rose Theatre Company — and in the audience and students it serves.
Your sponsorship supports the development and production of new plays, the staging of modern classics, affordable access to the best of professional theatre for a broad and diverse audience, and unique learning opportunities for students of all ages.
At the same time, PRTC sponsorships bring with them benefits, which make getting involved rewarding. Sponsorships provide an array of corporate visibility and recognition as well as generous ticket and hospitality opportunities for employees and customers alike.
Sponsor benefits are offered at varying levels of support and appeal to a wide range of interests. Depending on your sponsorship level, exclusive benefits may include luncheons or dinners with resident and guest theatre artists, complimentary and discounted tickets, recognition in publications, invitations to new play readings, rehearsals, and opening night galas, special events tailored just for you, complimentary scripts, and more.
Please take a look at the sponsorship opportunities The Purple Rose Theatre Company offers and let us know how we can help you get involved.
