Please support the businesses that support The Depot Theatre!

Production sponsors allow The Depot Theatre to maintain the extraordinary quality of its programming. The cost of royalties, sets, and costumes quickly adds up, and our sponsors help us defray the considerable upfront expense of creating live theatre.

In addition to promoting the arts in our community, sponsorship is a great way to spotlight your business. Sponsors appear in all of our publicity – on our website, in posters, programs, and print ads, as well as receiving a personal "thank you" before each performance. If you'd like to sponsor a show, contact us right away and we'll be glad to discuss our upcoming productions. Thanks for supporting live theatre!
