Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is the premier classics theatre company in our region, welcoming more than 25,000 largely professional, well-educated patrons to public performances each year. Sponsorship Opportunities for our Artistic Season place you among an enterprising class of institutional partners who have invested in our commitment to the redevelopment of Downtown Baltimore City and the elevation of a regional cultural dialogue.

Along with a tailored package of benefits, sponsors receive significant brand exposure to our young, family-oriented, rapidly expanding patron base in print and online media.

Our sponsorship opportunities include:

• From $2500–$10,000 for show sponsorships,
• $25,000 for season sponsorships.
• Naming opportunities in our theatre lobby and offices starting at $10,000.

At Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, education is central to our mission. We know that igniting a child’s imagination and providing avenues to engage are critical to future academic success. Our rich program of activities provides opportunities on every level, from basic access to performance to in-depth exploration of text and professional production experiences.

Each year, we serve thousands of children with inspiring, age-appropriate instruction, many times at little or no cost to families. We depend on our generous partners and sponsors to help provide this critical exposure to those students who can most benefit.

• School Matinees
• In-School Residencies
• Camps
• Workshops
• Professional Development for Teachers

Our sponsorship opportunities include:

• $500–$1,000 for camp or class tuition
• $2,500–$10,000 for specific Student Matinee performances (Sponsor a school),

Each year, Chesapeake Shakespeare Company attracts thousands of loyal patrons to the Patapsco Female Institute Historic Park in Ellicott City, Maryland, for outdoor productions of timeless classic works. This beloved program not only allows families to attend together, creating generations of loyal Shakespeare fans, it helps to cultivate a community event, not just a cultural one. CSC’s Free Shakespeare for Kids (FSFK) program is the most visible and well-established sponsorship opportunity we offer, enabling thousands of children accompanied by an adult ticket holder to experience live theatre.

The Free Shakespeare for Kids program provides free admission for the duration of our summer season (main-stage production only) for all children under the age of 18. This program helps attract and retain a deeply loyal fan-base of families from throughout the Greater Baltimore area. Every Sunday is Family Fun Day, with children’s activities, games, and featured-pre-show performances.

Our sponsorship opportunities include:

• $2,500–$10,000 for FSFK, covering select performances or the entire Summer Season.
