OUR MAJOR SPONSORS are thanked live before every performance, their banners held up for display by members of the theater company during pre-show announcements by the producer and/or director. Our festival site and much of our signage is visible from I-264, the major artery to and from the Oceanfront for tourists and residents alike.

Your company’s logo and community spirit will be on display for almost an entire summer. You will be seen by a large audience which, because we do not charge admission, is diverse and enthusiastic and sometimes returns to see a single show more than once. Because of our fun, free, outdoor format, besides the typical theatergoer—educated, appreciative arts patrons—we also draw members of the community who otherwise might never be exposed to such cultural events and the companies which sponsor them.

21% of our prior year’s audience had never or only rarely attended other cultural events, leading us to believe that having been introduced to the fine performing arts through our free program, we stimulate many people that have not attended or supported the arts before to do so in the future. Your company will be doing a tremendous service to the community by opening up a new kind of enrichment to people who normally can’t afford the benefits of live theater.
