General Operations Sponsorship
Southbank Theatre Company is a nonprofit, tax exempt 501(c)3. That means every financial contribution is tax deductible! No matter how big or small, your contribution supports theatre artists and the stories they bring to our audiences. With your help, we will be able to build a sustainable, creative company in Indianapolis that will celebrate emerging and established artists from all backgrounds.
What do donations pay for?
Rights to produce plays and musicals
Set materials/construction
Rehearsal/production rental space
Costumes
Actors, Directors, and Crew
Many of our costs are upfront, and ticket sales will only reimburse a portion of the costs for our shows. We will need your help to make Southbank’s mission a reality.
