Become a Sponsor
Why sponsor MCT shows?
Your sponsorship isn't just advertising — it's an investment in the cultural and educational life of our community. Here's what MCT makes possible every season:
MCT at its core is a place for anyone to express their creativity through the performing arts, no matter their experience. We welcome everyone from all walks of life to join our community.
Live Theatre for Everyone
Our Education Institute enrolls students ages 5–15 each summer, guaranteeing every child a role in a full production. Many go on to our main stage shows as teens and young adults, building confidence and artistic skills they carry for life.
Youth Education & Opportunities
Every season, MCT produces a variety of main stage shows and events. We intentionally keep ticket prices accessible so that live theatre is within reach for every family in our community. Your sponsorship helps make that possible.
Affordable Entertainment
This season features 12 productions and events — including our biggest show of the year, The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson Musical, performed at the 400-seat Carl & Glessie Young Auditorium. Our season spans family musicals, murder mystery, cabaret events, a Halloween production, and our beloved holiday closer.
Who We Reach
Patrons
We reach between 2,000-3,000 patrons in our audiences every year, with over 50,000 patrons attending our shows over our 23 seasons.

We serve families, professionals, retirees, and arts enthusiasts — a loyal, community-invested audience that attends multiple shows per season.
Who Your Sponsorship Reaches
Sponsorship Categories
-
Season Sponsorships
A Season Sponsorship puts your business alongside everything MCT does all year long. From opening night in March through our holiday show in December, your name will be recognized at every performance, in every digital program, and across our social media channels — reaching 2,000 to 3,000 patrons per season across the Ozarks. If you want consistent visibility and a lasting community association, this is the partnership for you.
-
Main Stage Sponsorships
Support a single show that matters to you. Main Stage Sponsorships are available for each of MCT's featured productions. Choose the show, choose your level, and your business will be recognized in the digital program, on our website, and from the stage every night of the run. It's the perfect fit for businesses that want a meaningful, targeted community presence without a full season commitment.

Heart of the Stage is MCT's beloved cabaret series — five one-night evenings of live music throughout the year, each one different, all of them unforgettable. A Studio Series Sponsorship puts your business in front of one of our most loyal audiences across every event in the series. With intimate 65-seat performances and a warm, community-focused atmosphere, this sponsorship offers consistent, personal visibility at one of the most accessible price points of any MCT partnership.
