Season Sponsorship and Advertising for 2010-2011 Season

Birdville High School Theatre Booster Club in North Richland Hills thanks you for your support of Birdville High School’s award winning theatre program. We are currently seeking early Season Sponsorships and program advertising for main stage productions during the 2010-2011 season. Your season sponsorship or advertising is seen by parents, students, and community supporters of BHS Theatre throughout the year. Season Sponsors are acknowledged in our main stage production programs and any other printing for BHS Theatre’s smaller productions or events throughout the year. Our largest productions are our fall show, typically an October show, and our musical in January. We also have many smaller productions throughout the year. ~~~~~BHS Theatre Booster Club has reduced business ad pricing structures, making advertising in our programs even more economical. Business ads for ¼ page start for as little as $30 and are published in each program playbill during the season. This year we will have at least two playbills - fall show and musical.

Birdville High School Theatre - Winner of the 2009 and 2010 Betty Lynn Buckley Awards for “Best Musical” for its productions of The Boyfriend and Bye, Bye Birdie. In 2010, BHS also won Best Student Orchestra and won Best Lighting and Best Set Design as well. The Betty Lynn Buckley Awards, sponsored by Casa Mañana Theatre in Fort Worth, Texas, recognize excellence in high school musical theatre within Tarrant County.

WHY WE NEED SPONSORS AND ADVERTISERS - Sponsorships are tax deductible and allow the Booster Club to provide ongoing support to our high quality fine arts program. Advertising sales pay printing costs for theatre production programs all season. Without advertising sales, we cannot print quality programs for our productions and demonstrate support of our student casts, crews, and directors. Money raised from Season Sponsorship donations fund other costs for our theatre productions not covered by district or state funding, such as expenses for production rights, scripts, costumes, music and lyric rights, musicians, guest directors, or construction costs for production sets, etc.

SEASON SPONSORSHIP For businesses or individuals who sponsor our entire theatre season. Season sponsorships are donations in excess of $500 and are tax deductible. Sponsors are acknowledged in our show programs and on printed posters or programs for any Theatre event during the year. Sponsorships are not business ads. Advertising is purchased separately. However, a sponsor may combine an ad purchase with their sponsorship check. The cost for the ad size selected is deducted for the tax deductible donation receipt, as this portion is not tax deductible. A separate receipt for your ad expenditure is provided for your business records. For example, a sponsor donates $1000 and wants no advertising. The entire donation amount is tax deductible. If a sponsor donates $600 and wants a quarter page ad ($30), the remaining $570 is a tax deductible donation. For season sponsors, the net donation must be $500 or more.

BUSINESS DISPLAY ADS - Ads run in all formal main stage show programs (play productions and musical.) This type of advertising is generally a business expense and appropriate receipts are provided. Ads range in price from $175 for a full page preferred location ad, $75 for a regular full page ad to $30 for a ¼ page or business card size ad. We also offer a limited number of special placement ads for businesses: full back cover or inside the front or back covers of programs. These are an additional $100.
