The Theatre of Gadsden is Northeast Alabama's premier community theatre group. TOG produces eight to ten shows annually that are attended by thousands from around the region. In order to keep ticket costs low and present quality theatre performances, Theatre of Gadsden offers sponsorship opportunities for some shows.

Why does TOG need Show Sponsors?  

Theatre of Gadsden is a non-profit organization, which does not regularly receive local tax dollars for its continued operation.  Income is derived from season memberships, door admissions, and donations.  TOG, at times, receives grant money for special projects, but relies on donations from the community for some of its operating expenses.  These donations include monetary gifts, gifts-in-kind, program and ticket sponsorships.    

What does TOG use show sponsorship dollars for?

Costs of producing shows continue to increase.  Such costs include royalties, scripts, props, costumes, advertising and set construction. 

Why should my business consider being a Show Sponsor?

Sponsorship promotes and helps fill the need for theatrical arts in our community.  It also shows that you and your business are interested in contributing to the artistic enhancement of our area.  It offers you, through our sponsor benefits, a unique and entertaining method of showing appreciation to your employees, customers or potential customers.

Companies, individuals and organizations can sponsor shows at several different levels:

• PRODUCER - $7,500-$15,000 
  Producer Level sponsors are named along with TOG in the production title of the show. For example: 'ABC Company & Theatre of Gadsden present "The Sound of Music"'. In addition to naming rights, the Producer level includes up to 10 free tickets to each performance of the production, two full-page ads in the printed program, acknowledgement and appreciation during pre-show performance remarks, and priority ad placement on the TOG website.
