Community Ticket Program
This program gives community members and businesses a chance to help us remove two of the major barriers to people finding community in the Theatre; cost and inclusion.
We value your Donations and want to honor them by ensuring that they do as much good in our community as possible. We also want to honor the theatrical rule of three’s so your donation benefits the Patron, the Artist and the Theatre!
Theatre is for Everyone and Everyone is Welcome at the Theatre!
For many people, young and old, going to the Theatre is a new experience, or an experience they haven’t had since school, or going to school plays. For many people who don’t consider themselves ‘Theatre people’ the question of feeling welcomed and included can be an obstacle. There seems to be an idea of what Theatre is and who belongs in the Theatre that needs to change. Everyone belongs in the Theatre and the Theatre is for everyone. And what better way to demonstrate that by welcoming people in with a ticket, with an invitation to come and take a chance on a show, to be part of an audience, to find a new place to belong and a vibrant and inclusive community to be a part of. Community is needed now more than ever, Theatre is needed now more than ever, please help us extend a wide welcome and invitation to become part of our Theatre community.
What are Sponsored Shows?
To foster the creation of new works and emerging companies. New Prospect Theatre offers a 50/50 rental option and sponsors selected shows. This removes a major economic barrier to trying something new or getting a new company off the ground. Sponsored shows and companies agree to make their shows affordable by keeping their ticket price to $15 to $20 with a discount for students and members. This allows the artists to spend more of their time creating instead of fundraising and allocating what resources they have to creating the best show possible for the audience. New Prospect Theatre supports with advertising and ticketing and technical support when needed. The Community ticket program will help these artists and companies by giving audiences a chance to find them and experience their work as well as giving them the economic support to start their next project, and help The New Prospect Theatre offer even more of these opportunities in the coming year.In our first 16 months we have offered 50/50 splits to nearly 20 local companies artists and studios!
From companies such as Flooded Productions, Those Brazen Wenches, Little Lemon Productions, AMBAHAR Black Market Theatre, BTG Satellites, Unsubdued Theatre Cooperative and Sojourner Theatre Cooperative to local shows such as To whom it May Concern, The Robin Christopher Show and A Very Queer Ballet. There are already over a half dozen sponsored shows already scheduled on the books for the remainder of 2024 including She Kills Monster, Alice By Heart, Bonnie and Clyde, and more!
