Sponsorship Opportunities

In addition to providing quality theatrical productions to the community, Theatre by the Bay also wants to ensure that our sponsors receive great value for their investment. If your market is mid to high-income professionals or young families TBTB can provide excellent exposure to these high disposable income markets. There are packages available for all sizes of promotional budget and we are happy to work with you to customize a package if you so desire.

Your donation helps support work for almost 60 people
on a contract basis and 3 full time people.

It also goes towards all of our supplies to put our productions together.
