HELP THE BANYAN GROW BY MAKING A DONATION

The Banyan Theater Company embarked upon a short-term campaign to raise $50,000 in December 2012 in order to commit to producing our twelfth season. We are pleased to have met that goal and sincerely thank everyone who helped make that happen. The next phase is to match the first $50,000 so we may achieve our budget requirement of $100,000 in contributions to sustain our 2013 season. Please help by making a tax-deductible donation.

Ticket sales cover only 50% of the actual costs to produce our plays. The remaining 50% must come from the financial support of foundations, corporations and individuals with a dedication to keeping the arts alive in our community. Your tax-deductible donation is critical to help us keep ticket prices reasonable and continue to grow for many years to come! Please consider making a donation in one of these categories:

Season Benefactors are passionate about the cultural life of Sarasota. Generous contributions of $20,000 and up help the Banyan Theater Company throughout its entire summer season. Special recognition is awarded to Season Benefactors in the Banyan season program.

Season Co-Producers donate $6,000 to assist with the costs of producing the entire season. Season Co-Producers’ names appear on each title page in the Banyan season program.

Play Co-Producers donate $2,500 to assist with the costs of producing a specific play within the season. Co-Producers’ names appear on the title page of their selected play in the Banyan season program.

Donations of $50 or more are recognized with a listing in our season program. Checks should be made payable to Banyan Theater Company and mailed to PO Box 49483, Sarasota, FL 34230.
