Support the Arts and Drive Your Business
Carrollwood Players Theatre invites you to support the grassroots arts while promoting your business.
Sponsorships are available that will place your business name in front of the more than seven thousand audience members and volunteers who experience the magic of live theatre at CWP each season.
Business sponsors also receive exposure to our estimated 25,000 social media followers, email subscribers, and website visitors.
Carrollwood Players is a volunteer-driven, non-profit community organization dedicated to providing access to the arts for all. Our audiences and participants come from a wide area of Tampa Bay and beyond to experience great live entertainment created by and for the community.
Though we bring more than 100 live performances to the public each year, ticket sales cover only about half of our operating expenses. We rely on the support of our community to help us sustain our rich history as Tampa’s longest operating community theatre.
By becoming a Carrollwood Players sustaining business partner, you can gain exposure for your business and make a bold statement that you believe the arts are vital to a vibrant community. .
Your business can receive exposure in a variety of ways, including ads in our playbill and on our website, tags and mentions via our social media, email marketing and other digital media, lobby marketing and more. We also offer complimentary show tickets to our top business sponsors.
Join one of Tampa Bay’s best known arts organizations and reach thousands of new customers who love the arts as much as you do.
