American Stage SponsorShips

Align yourself, or your company, with Tampa Bay’s longest-running, most critically-acclaimed, professional live theatre by becoming an American Stage sponsor.  Our Sponsor partners make it possible for American Stage to provide world-class, locally-produced professional theatre to Tampa Bay-area audiences.

Sponsorship of the Arts has long been accepted as a cost-efficient and highly effective PR and marketing tool.  It is one of the most powerful ways of reinforcing your corporate image, enabling you to promote your company’s name, logo and services to a captive regional audience.  Choose an American Stage sponsorship level that makes the most sense for your business.

American Stage will work with you to choose a program and benefits that best fit your interests. By designating your contribution to a specific program, you help ensure the success of that program.

  • Mainstage Productions
  • American Stage in the Park
  • Education and Outreach Programs
  • Gala Under the Stars (annual signature fundraising event)
To learn more about becoming an American Stage Sponsor, please contact the American Stage Development Team at (727) 823-1600 ext.207 or development@americanstage.org
