Why Be a Sponsor?

In our fifth season we are proud to have mounted five productions in two locations: in downtown Olympia, at the Washington Center for the Arts, and at the Black Box Theater at South Puget Sound Community College’s Minnaert Center for the Performing Arts. We sold out many of our shows, and served nearly 5,000 patrons.

It takes more than ticket sales to cover the expense of providing live theater to the community. Support from local businesses is a large part of what makes this possible. When you sponsor community theater, not only do we benefit from your financial contribution, you receive the gratitude and patronage of audience members who recognize the valuable role you play in sustaining arts in the Olympia community.

Help us maintain our growth by joining the growing list of companies supporting our mission of bringing affordable children's theater that not only entertains, but also stimulates dialogue and personal growth for young people, their families and the wider community.

Sponsorship Info and Benefits

OFT's sixth season will begin soon. So far the success of each of our seasons has surpassed the previous ones, with over 3,000 patrons attending our shows each year, and nearly 5,000 this year! Your sponsorship helps us continue to build on our success in providing high quality theater and theater education programs for children and families in the South Puget Sound community.
