How You Can Support The Rising Stars Theatre Company

The Rising Stars Theatre Company could not continue to exist without the support of the Chicago community. We hope that you will buy a ticket to see the show, but ticket sales alone do not cover our production costs. You can support Rising Stars in other ways as well, including:

Sponsors

The Rising Stars Theatre Company started the Sponsors program several years ago to allow local businesses and individuals to show their support for the arts in an extraordinary way. A Sponsor contributes $150 towards any production by the Rising Stars Theatre Company, and in exchange receives the following benefits:
  • A full-page ad in the program book (value: $60)
  • A special announcement at the beginning of every performance (value: great publicity!)
  • Six complimentary tickets for the show (value: $90)
  • Listing on the Sponsors page in the program book and in the theatre lobby (value: more great publicity!)
  • Knowing you have helped support the arts in Chicagoland (value: priceless!)
If you are interested in being a Sponsor for our current production, please print the Sponsorship form (Click the link to open form in PDF format). Fill out the form and send it in along with your check and advertisement copy. The Sponsorship deadline is given on the form.
