Donations and Sponsorship

We are grateful to our audiences, friends and patrons. Your support, both in monetary donations and in moral encouragement make you are as much a part of each production that we present as are the performers who appear on our stage. This feeling seems to be shared by cast members, and it is noticed by new audience members coming to their first Calliope show.

The achievements we have made--from our initial start in 1982 to our acquisition of audience seating in 1987 to the purchase of our own building in 1999 to the renovations and improvements made since then--would not have been attained without your strong and continued support.

Calliope offers supporters three options for giving:

General Operating Fund. Calliope's annual operating budget of $100,000 is funded mainly through ticket sales and program fees. Additional income is needed for marketing and promotional activities.
Building Renovation Fund. We need to install handicapped-accessible rest rooms on the main level of our building.
Sponsor-A-Show Program. For a minimum donation of $1500, donors can sponsor individual productions or our year-round Youth Theatre Workshop Program. Sponsors will be specifically acknowledged in our playbills and on the production's Performance Page on our website.

Please send in the Sponsor and Donor Form with your contribution. We gladly accept anonymous donations. Supporters are acknowledged on the Calliope Supporters Page.

We encourage you to read about the breadth of Calliope's development opportunities.

Donations to Calliope are tax-deductible and qualify for Matching Funds from area employers.

Calliope Productions is a non-profit organization, supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council through grants from the Local Cultural Councils of Boylston, Hudson, Northborough, Shrewsbury, West Boylston and Westborough.
