Signature Ticket Initiative Sponsorship

An association with Signature’s groundbreaking commitment to arts access, sponsorship of this critical program will enable Signature to offer $25 tickets for every seat at every performance during each production’s regular run at Signature Center - guaranteeing affordable access to nearly 1 million theatre goers over the next ten years. Tailored packages can be developed with our sponsors to showcase your dedication to making theatre affordable to all, engage staff and deliver corporate responsibility objectives.
