Partners in the Arts – Sponsors

Partners in the Arts – Sponsors

As a 501 (c) (3) organization, the Marion Palace Theatre appreciates the generosity of sponsors who partner with us to fulfill the mission of the theatre: to foster appreciation, education and participation in the arts, while preserving and promoting the historic Palace Theatre.

Sponsorship is an investment in the Marion community and each partner plays an important part in perpetuating the future of the arts and their impact. In addition, sponsorship dollars help keep ticket prices reasonable and ensure that the same high quality entertainment Palace patrons have come to love and appreciate remains center stage.

Businesses or organizations can show support of the arts, the community and the Marion Palace Theatre by becoming a show sponsor. For a current list of sponsorship opportunities and information about the benefits of sponsorship, please contact the Palace Theatre (740-383-2101) or Executive Director Kirk Detweiler (director@marionpalace.org).

A very special thank you to the individuals and corporations listed below for helping to make the 2020-21 Palace Theatre season successful:
