Operational Support

GREAT is thankful for the generosity of our donors whose annual support bridges the gap between ticket sales and the true cost of producing high quality shows, camps, and education outreach programming to ensure everyone in Central Minnesota has access to the transformative power of the arts. Gifts of all sizes collectively make a big impact. To protect donor privacy, individual donor names are not listed online. Their generosity is acknowledged in our printed show programs.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Building Community Partners

Your name in lights, programs and our community!

Reach more than 60,000 community-minded central Minnesotans over the next eight months! GREAT’s 2024/25 season is quickly approaching and business sponsorships for most shows remain available.

To sponsor a show or otherwise contribute to GREAT’s impact in our community, contact Tim Johnson at 320-258-2787 (office) or Tim@GreatTheatre.org

Sponsoring GREAT Theatre is good for public relations and strengthens your advertising and marketing efforts. By sponsoring a show, you’ll be featured in show programs and promotions, on our website, social channels and however else we can tout your support. You’ll also receive between 15 and 50 tickets to any show this season (mix and match if you like).

Show and event sponsorships help your organization showcase its community support and get your brand in front of our community in places it may not otherwise reach them.

You’ll reach tens of thousands of community-minded central Minnesotans with your message in ways that are meaningful to them.

Besides what you get, your sponsorship will enrich our community for your customers and employees. Contact Tim Johnson at Tim@greattheatre.org or 320-258-2787 to showcase your business.

2024/25 Sponsors

Ticket sales cover just 60% of the cost to produce our live theatre productions. Our sponsors help us produce shows of the highest artistic quality. Generous financial support from these local businesses help ensure a thriving arts community where people want to live, work, and play.

In-Kind Contributors

Whether it’s marketing and promotion support, travel accommodations for out-of-town designers, food for volunteers, lawn care, prop storage, studio use, or transportation of our sets from GREAT to the Paramount, we are grateful for the businesses that provide in-kind support with their services, allowing us to keep our operational costs low.
