Sponsorships and Advertising

Greetings from Central Wisconsin Area Community Theater!

cwACT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, built by and for the Central Wisconsin community. For more than five decades, cwACT has been a place where neighbors become storytellers, families create memories, and audiences experience the magic that only live theater can bring.

As we begin our 53rd season, we’re thankful for the support of this giving community.

We are thrilled to share our 2026–2027 season:

  • Summer – As You Like It
  • Fall – The Shadow Box
  • Holiday – A Christmas Carol (Live Radio Show)
  • Winter – Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic & Magic
  • Spring – Seussical The Musical

Behind every curtain rise are real people who give their time, talent, and heart to make each production possible. Productions also come with costs including materials for set construction, costumes, props, rental items, and performance rights, to name a few.

Shortly after announcing our season, we learned that the Sentry Theater will be closed for renovations for the next several years. Finding new venues and adapting our productions to new spaces create additional expenses. We also try to keep ticket prices affordable.

This is where sponsorship becomes more than a donation, it becomes a partnership. Your support helps us continue providing high-quality, affordable, live theater while navigating this transition. In return, sponsors receive advertising, social media recognition, complimentary tickets, and the satisfaction of helping local arts thrive. Now more than ever, your support helps keep the show going.

Here you’ll find our sponsorship and advertising options and a link to complete the form online. A printable form is also attached if you prefer to mail it with your check.

Your support helps keep the lights on, the stories coming, and future generations falling in love with live theater.

Thank you for being part of our story.
