Sponsorship

Southern Shakespeare Company (SSC) sponsorships generate publicity for sponsors while helping to fund SSC’s many educational programs and community productions. Sponsorships span our performance season and help keep our FREE Shakespeare in the Park Festival free for our community.

In addition to our online presence and outreach, SSC performances are attended by more than 8,000 people each year. Every sponsorship received helps us to share Shakespeare’s timeless stories and powerful writing style in classrooms, parks and on stages throughout our community.

Southern Shakespeare Company also offers annual and sustaining memberships! Please click here for more information.
