CORPORATE
SUPPORT
A
partnership with The Rep can help your business reach a highly desirable
audience.
Sponsorships
are a great way for area businesses and foundations to increase
their visibility in the community and support the arts at the same
time. From support of world class theatrical productions to engaging
education offerings and vital community outreach programs, every
corporate and foundation gift makes the work of The Rep more valuable
to our community.
This
year, corporate and foundation partners will provide more than $500,000
to help us fulfill our mission of playing a vital role in the cultural
life of our region. We want to thank our sponsors for their support.
We
invite you to join us, too.
We're
confident that The Rep's core programs are an excellent way for
you to further your philanthropic goals and make Milwaukee a more
vibrant place in which to live, learn and work.
Milwaukee
Repertory Theater offers:
•World
class productions that explore and illuminate the human condition
•Quality arts experiences for students in Milwaukee Public Schools
and the surrounding Greater Milwaukee area
•Outreach programs that make The Rep experience accessible to the
southeastern Wisconsin community
Sponsor
a production, or even a single performance
The
Rep has enjoyed 53 seasons as the largest producing theater in Wisconsin.
This year The Rep will offer more than 650 performances, far more
than any other single arts organization in the state. Production
sponsorships are available for all three of our performance spaces
(Quadracci Powerhouse Theater, Stiemke Theater and Stackner Cabaret)
and can be targeted to a single performance, a single production
or an entire season. We also offer sponsorships of our annual holiday
production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, performed in the historic Pabst
Theater.
Help
us share the magic of theater with area schoolchildren
Tens
of thousands of MPS students have never attended or rarely attend
live theater, and we think they're missing an important educational
experience. Involvement in theater, especially when integrated into
the classroom, is a valuable tool for students to hone and practice
critical thinking and real-life skills. Our most popular programs,
such as SCRIPTWORKS, the SUMMER THEATER CONSERVATORY and the IN
SCHOOL TOURING PROGRAM continue to grow with sponsor support.
During
our 2007-2008 season, The Rep will serve more than 20,000 students
at more than 100 schools with in-depth artistic residencies, after-school
programs, touring performances and study guides.
Serve
a niche by meeting a special need
The
Rep is a leader in providing programs that increase access to the
theater for underserved populations and people with disabilities,
as well as programs that develop new, bigger and more informed audiences.
Sponsors help The Rep offer adaptive technology to individuals with
hearing and vision loss and open the theater doors to diverse audiences
through programs such as PAY WHAT YOU CAN PERFORMANCES and the FAMILY
SUNDAY MATINEE series.
At
The Rep, we're ensuring the future of the American stage by building
knowledgeable audiences. Last year 30,000 people attended our popular
pre-show lecture series, REP IN DEPTH, held prior to each Quadracci
Powerhouse and Stiemke Theater performance.
Get
the VIP treatment with The Rep Corporate Box Program
The
Rep Corporate Box Program is our answer to the Luxury Skybox.
Essentially,
it is an enhanced subscription program tailored for the business
community that can be used to entertain clients, reward employees
or recruit new talent.
Corporate
Box VIPS are treated to a first-class experience, with tickets to
all Rep productions on our three stages plus
A CHRISTMAS CAROL in the Pabst Theater. Your seats in the Quadracci
Powerhouse and Stiemke Theaters will be reserved with custom seat
back covers emblazoned with your company logo. You and your guests
also have exclusive access to our Donor Lounge before the show and
during intermission, with complimentary wine, beer, cocktails, soft
drinks and snacks.
There
is added visibility for your business as well, with acknowledgment
on our Wells Street sign and LCD screens in the theater complex.
Another benefit: parking passes in our covered garage for you and
your guests.
Let
us put your name in lights
Information
about our productions and sponsors is continuously visible on an
8' x 8' digital sign mounted on our entrance at East Wells Street
and on three strategically placed LCD screens inside the Patty &
Jay Baker Theater Complex. Streaming video and information on these
screens is dynamic and attracts ticket buyers and patrons in an
accessible and vivid manner.
What
better way to reach the 215,000 bright, informed and educated people
who will attend a play at The Rep this year?
Other
benefits of sponsorship include (but are not limited to)*:
•
Title recognition of your sponsored production or program
• Special opportunities for large numbers of employees and clients
to attend your production or see your program in action
• Recognition in all ads and promotions, including Web site, print
media, playbills and newsletters, as well as a verbal announcement
before each performance (where applicable)
• Product sampling or promotion
• Private building tours for corporate employees and their guests

There

within the community, and we would like to work with you to ensure
that the recognition benefits we can offer are correctly tailored
to your objectives.
Thank
you for your support!
Without
the leadership of corporate and foundation partners, many vital
programs at The Rep simply could not exist. We appreciate your commitment
to adding value to our theater and to our community, and we look
forward to working with you during the coming year to enrich the
lives of people in southeastern Wisconsin .
