Corporate Support

A partnership with Salem Repertory Theatre can help your business reach a highly desirable audience.

Sponsorships are a great way for area businesses and foundations to increase their visibility in the community and support the arts at the same time. From support of world class theatrical productions to engaging education offerings and vital community outreach programs, every corporate and foundation gift makes the work of SRT more valuable to our community.

This year, corporate and foundation partners will provide more than $12,000 to help us fulfill our mission of playing a vital role in the cultural life of our region. We want to thank our sponsors for their support.

We invite you to join us, too.

We're confident that SRT’s core programs are an excellent way for you to further your philanthropic goals and make Salem a more vibrant place in which to live, learn and work.

Salem Repertory Theater offers:

Professional theatrical productions of the highest standard.
Plays of depth and vibrancy that illuminate the strengths, frailties, and diversity of the human condition.
An artistic home for a diverse company of theatre professionals, including a resident acting company.
Education and outreach programs for all ages consistent with the artistic mission of the theatre.

Sponsor a season, or even a single production:

Salem Repertory Theatre has enjoyed 5 seasons as the only professional theatre is Oregon’s capital. This year SRT will offer more than 75 performances of seven different plays. Production sponsorships are available for all of our plays and educational programs and can be targeted to a single performance, a single production or an entire season.

Help us share the magic of theater with area schoolchildren

Thousands of Willamette Valley students have never attended or rarely attend live theater, and we think they're missing an important educational experience. Involvement in theater, especially when integrated into the classroom, is a valuable tool for students to hone and practice critical thinking and real-life skills. Our most popular programs, Educational Access and College Intern, continue to grow with grants and sponsor support.

During our 2006-2008 seasons, SRT served more than 1,000 students at more than 15 schools with in-depth artistic internships, school programs, performances and study guides.

Serve a niche by meeting a special need

Salem Repertory Theatre is a leader in providing programs that increase access to the theater for underserved populations and people with disabilities, as well as programs that develop new, bigger and more informed audiences. Sponsors help The Rep offer adaptive technology to individuals with hearing and vision loss and open the theater doors to diverse audiences through programs such as PAY WHAT YOU CAN PERFORMANCES for students and the underserved.
