PRODUCING OPPORTUNITIES

Our Producing Opportunities celebrate individuals, families, and businesses who play a leadership role in bringing exceptional theater and education to life at the Sharon Playhouse.

Producers receive prominent, mission-aligned recognition for their support of our artistic and educational programs — without crossing into taxable advertising. This is philanthropic partnership with visibility, access, and meaningful connection to the creative process.
