Ticket revenue only covers a portion of our expenses, so sponsor contributions demonstrate a commitment to the arts in our local community and enable us to fulfill our mission of delivering quality, family-friendly drama at family-affordable prices. These sponsorships also contribute to our plan to build our own building in the future.
Overshadowed Theatrical Productions is a 501(c)(3) organization, and your sponsorship qualifies as a tax exemption donation.
“I invite you to sponsor one of our productions at one of the levels detailed in the table below. Your sponsorship is an excellent way to play a major role in bringing live theatre to Medinah and the surrounding area. Theatre sponsorship is rewarding not only for the positive marketing benefits, but also as a statement that your company cares about your community.”
— Reba Hervas — Founder & President of Overshadowed Theatrical Productions
