Why should your company support the arts_
Corporate sponsors who invest in the arts generally do so to enhance the quality of life for their employees and the residents of the communities in
which they operate. While this fulfills their mission to be good corporate citizens, they also have every reason to anticipate a mutually beneficial partnership that will heighten their visibility and reputation among their current and potential customer base.
We believe that the Rep's Corporate Players find valuable opportunities for promotion, advertising and visibility through association with the Kansas City's premiere professional theatre. A
sponsorship of a performance, series, or educational program, includes prime complimentary tickets and the opportunity to a company can create unique employee or client entertainment experiences at the Theatre.
Any investment in the community involves supporting its important cultural institutions that provide unique, high quality programs for your constituency. By supporting Missouri Repertory Theatre,
your company aligns itself with the image of excellence, creativity, diversity, and community service that our Theatre represents.
