The Barrow-Civic Theatre would not exist without business and corporate support.   Sponsorship helps keep the BCT “alive and thriving” as the gem of our community.   Through our Lobby Beam Program, program advertising, and production sponsorships, your support helps make the Barrow-Civic the outstanding regional performing arts center it has become.

Below is information on several of our Business and Corporate sponsorship programs.  Contact Penny Gustavson, General Manager, at (814) 432-5196 if you are interested in joining our team.  Thank you.

The Barrow-Civic Theatre offers a unique annual advertising opportunity.  Upon entering the Theatre, you will notice the cross beams in our lobby which display current corporate sponsors that have joined this program.  We would like to extend this opportunity to you as well.  More than 30,000 patrons pass through our Theatre lobby annually representing much of Northwest Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.  Not only will your company’s logo be prominently displayed for these patrons to see, you will also be demonstrating your support for the cultural community in Franklin and surrounding area.

We would like to offer your company the opportunity to “Buy A Beam At the Barrow.”  Below is a description of the financial options available that we know will suit your company’s needs.  In addition, we include complimentary ticket vouchers to be redeem for tickets to any Franklin Civic Operetta Association show and complimentary advertising in our program booklet that is handed out at every production and function held at the Theatre.

Front and Back Full Beam…$5,000
* Includes 50 complimentary ticket vouchers and a full page ad in our program book

Front or Back Full Beam…..$2,500
* Includes 26 complimentary ticket vouchers and a half page ad in our program book

Front or Back Half Beam…..$1,250
* Includes 12 complimentary ticket vouchers and a half page ad in our program book.

The display of your company advertisement or logo is finished as a high quality, full color digital output laminated and mounted on rigid backboard.  Our beams span horizontally across the Theatre lobby just over 15 feet and are 11 inches high.  Graphic Storm of Franklin will do the work for us.

The Barrow- Civic Theatre is funded by ticket sales (comprising only about 52% of our annual budget), sustaining and sponsorships contributions by both individuals and corporations.  We rely heavily on support from local businesses like yours.  To that end, we would be very pleased and proud if you would participate in our “Buy A Beam At The Barrow” program.

Thank you for your consideration and support of our fabulous cultural arts center – The Barrow-Civic Theatre. For further information, please contact Penny Gustavson, BCT General Manager at 432-5196.

SHOW SPONSORS
Another way to work with the Barrow-Civic Theatre is sponsoring a show.   Show sponsors help BCT and FCOA support the costs of providing drama, comedy, and musical entertainment.   Sponsors are also sought for outside shows the BCT contracts with.   Show sponsors receive complimentary tickets, program ad recognition, and marquee placement.  Show sponsors can also provide an in-kind trade of goods and services in exchange for sponsorship.
