Why Become A Sponsor?
If you’ve read the program of any theater group, you probably know that ticket sales cover only a small portion of the funds needed to operate. Like most theater groups, we rely on corporate and individual contributions for our support. However, unlike many of them, we aren’t going to annoy you with a “curtain” speech, nag you as you leave the theatre or phone you at dinnertime, asking for your pledge. We’re hoping that, because of the good work that we do, you’ll want to support our efforts.
What are the benefits for you?
Sponsor benefits ($500 contribution and up) include a promotional announcement about you or your company at the beginning of a sponsored show, sponsorship signs in the performance area, preferred seating, and much more. For a full list of sponsor benefits, click here.
What are the benefits for WhoDunnit?
With your help, we can continue to create the unique, thoroughly original mysteries that have become so popular with Louisville audiences, and that continue to intrigue and delight! Our operating expenses are daunting — costumes, props, sets, historical research, staff to manage your reservations efficiently, phone and Internet resources, sound and lighting equipment, road crew and techicians … so much goes into making a quality production. Your contribution keeps what’s happening behind the scene running smoothly, so that we can keep the magic happening on stage!
What are the benefits for the community?
We believe in mystery theater as an art form, and we try to reflect that by providing the finest in mystery entertainment. In addition to our main season performances, we also perform at schools, charity functions and social-service organizations, many of which have limited funds. Your contribution helps to subsidize these. We also welcome first-timers (adults with talent and initiative but limited stage experience) and students as young as 17 to our auditions, providing training and guidance. WhoDunnit has given many now-successful performers and directors their first professional role.
How much is a contribution?
Any amount is welcome! Contributions of $20 and up are listed in the program. Sponsorship of an individual performance (you can pick which one) is $500. Sponsorship of a production (the entire run of a show, which is usually seven to nine weeks) is $2500. Sponsorship of an entire year (four full productions, running seven to nine weeks each) is $5000.
You can also help out by purchasing a season ticket by December of each year.
