SPONSOR INNOVATION

MAKE your own statement…become a footlight sponsor

With your support you’ll not only help us continue to touch the lives of those in the Charleston and Lowcountry areas but also the lives of our incredibly talented and diverse group of artists at our theatre. As you know, theatre can leave a lasting impact on the lives of those lucky enough to be exposed to the live performing arts, and we want you to be a part of our generous impact.

Your sponsorship will support Footlight programing in a variety of ways that many often do not consider when thinking about what goes into the production they are enjoying on the stage. Therefore, your generosity will support the costs of paying for performance royalties, artists fees, designers, technicians, lighting, sound, costumes, makeup and hair, and advertising. All of these are vital elements that support the final production you see on the stage!

There are many levels and ways to show your financial support of Footlight and our growing and exciting programs. Check out each level below and see where you might be able to best show your love and support of Charleston’s oldest theatre company!

All sponsorships are adaptable and can be tailored to each sponsor’s preferences for either individual, family or business and includes a tax-deduction for your contribution.
