Eighty-five percent of the funding for all Hayden Theater productions and activities comes from ticket sales and fundraisers. In the past several years, we have used this money to upgrade lighting and sound equipment, purchase tools for the shop and chairs for the Black Box Theater, as well as to help reduce the cost for students attending the state and international festivals.

We would be honored to recognize you as a sponsor of our organization. For as little as $25, you will be recognized in our fall, winter and spring programs. Each production garners approximately 100-300 individuals, some who attend multiple times, and many who look to support businesses that support the arts. And of course, all donations are tax­ deductible.
