Consider Becoming a Sponsor for 2013

Thank you for your support for our community theater over the years. Whether you have attended shows, worked on stage or back stage or somewhere in between--we appreciate you!  We hope you have enjoyed our shows this past season. Our 2012 Season included the children’s fairy tale favorites Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Little Red Riding Hood. This was followed by the classic musical, Camelot. Most recently we enjoyed the artistry and story of The Secret Garden. Finally we will conclude our season during the holiday run of A Little Princess

Our 2013 Season begins in February with the madcap British Farce, Run for your Wife.    It is a tale about a mischievous London cab driver who has two wives, two lives and a tight schedule to keep!  Next, the Disney children’s musical, The Little Mermaid, Jr., will run in April and May.  In the fall we will present Death Trap, an award winning drama followed by the musical, Oliver. 

As a non-profit organization (Tax ID #680448569), our sponsors are an invaluable resource to produce our shows. We hope that you will consider becoming a sponsor in 2013. Your donation is tax deductible (less the ticket value) and keeps our community theater thriving!   Season tickets and public recognition are just some of the rewards.  Please contact the theater for further information at 530-642-0404.
