Your support can keep great theatre at Hartford Stage alive, and accessible to everyone! Our annual live audience of 140,000 is diverse, sophisticated, and concentrated in Hartford and its suburbs, making our many recognition and networking opportunities ideal for your growing profile. Shared and exclusive sponsorships of our productions and public programs are available at various levels. Benefits include:

Name/logo recognition in our theatre programs and marketing/advertising campaigns, amounting to millions of highly-targeted impressions.

Private pre-performance dinner reception, a valuable networking and entertaining opportunity that includes tickets to a performance, parking, and welcoming remarks at the reception and from the stage.

Ticket discounts for your employees or affiliates.

Let’s talk.
