Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsorship opportunities are available for the New Play Conference and PlayFest, as well as special programming throughout the year. Sponsorship of the Conference helps keep it FREE for artists. Sponsorship of PlayFest helps us employ Omaha actors and pay a competitive, livable wage for their time and talent, while also giving them valuable professional development experience. We need YOUR support!
In addition to benefits listed above, all sponsors are listed on the GPTC website and included in promotional materials, social media posts, and email marketing blasts. Contact Katie Kresha for more details or complete the Sponsorship Form to get started.
