Facetime Theatre relies on the generosity of business, foundations, government agencies and individuals who recognize Facetime Theartre’s value to the community and help us maintain the high quality of our productions and educational programs. In return, we are proud to offer a wide array of recognition opportunities and marketing benefits to our sponsors. Our sponsors receive excellent visibility and recognition.

The presence of professional arts institutions helps a community to thrive, economically and culturally. Creating bonds between the arts and the corporate community is essential to the quality of life in our region. At Facetime Theatre, we deeply value our relationships with our business sponsors – whether a large corporation looking to partner with us as we improve our space and expand our programming, or a smaller business wanting to utilize a unique marketing opportunity that benefits the community.
