SUPPORT & SPONSORSHIP
When Deertrees Theatre first came into being in the 1930's its creator Enrica Clay Dillon had the backing for the build and the wherewithal to keep the theatre boyant with alternative revenue streams. These lifelines have long since vanished and over the years the sustainability of the theatre has been a challenge and its very existence threatened! Ticket revenue does little enough to cover the season expenses let alone make inroads into the sustainability of the building and the organization. From experience we estimate that annually there is a need to invest around $20K on the upkeep of the building alone. The limited length of the season provides an enormous challenge and there is always the need to 'renew and replace', in the interest of safety and to facilitate the staging of concerts and theatre.
We are incredibly grateful to the many individuals who give through our annual appeal, to those who support and have given to particular initiatives and to the sponsors who identify something in our season to align themselves with.
" I love the improvements and changes you make every season, it has been so noticeable over the past few years.
It is always in keeping and enhances our summer experience, we so look forward to returning"
