2016 SUMMER SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES
Weathervane Playhouse
How your sponsorship helps
your Business:
Weathervane Playhouse audience members
are your customers, or potential customers.
The majority of our Season Ticket
Subscribers are long-standing, loyal patrons
who reside in Newark, Heath, Granville,
and Columbus. Through your Sponsorship,
you will receive many advertising and
marketing opportunities to expose your
business to our audience, as well as our
community.
How your sponsorship helps
the Community:
Many people agree the arts have a positive
sociological impact on communities. There
is also an economic impact. According
to the latest annual survey by Theatre
Communications Group, nonprofit theaters
contributed $2 billion to the national
economy in 2012, an increase from the
$1.9 billion reported in 2010. Weathervane
Playhouse, with the aid of our Patrons
and Sponsors, contribute to our local
economy in various ways: Increased
tourism (approximately 70% of our 2015
Season Ticket holders reside in the Newark,
Heath and Granville area, while the
remainder travel from Columbus, Pataskala,
Reynoldsburg, New Albany, Westerville,
Buckeye Lake, Zanesville, Lancaster, and
beyond); shopping (many of our purchases
for show items are spent at local businesses
and stores); employment (approximately
40 people will be locally employed or
contracted to live in Licking County
throughout the 2016 Summer Season).
Weathervane Playhouse has a long history
of drawing talented actors, crew, and staff
from around the country to live, work, and
become an active member of the Licking
County community.
How your sponsorship helps
Weathervane Playhouse:
Your financial sponsorship directly
contributes to the production of each of
our main stage shows. There are many
behind-the-scenes, as well as on-stage
elements, that go into producing a
high-quality, professional play or musical:
costumes, props, scenery, lights and sound;
plus, the designers, technicians, and actors
who bring the stage to life are just part of
the work and dedication it takes to create
live theatre.
