New and Noteworthy!
The Normal Heart
Join us for this searing drama about public and private indifference to the AIDS plague and one man’s fight to awaken the world to the crisis. The Normal Heart follows Ned Weeks, a gay activist enraged at the indifference of public officials and the gay community. While trying to save the world from itself, he confronts the personal toll of AIDS when he is faced with his own loss from the disease. Show dates are March 20-23 and 27-30.

Three Bags Full
“Three Bags Full” by Jerome Chodorov is a bright, fast-paced farce about a greedy merchant, Bascom Barlow, who finds himself snookered into being a matchmaker for two daughters, one the child of his wife and the other…who knows? Rebellious young ladies, a comely new maid, pregnant ladies, and mistaken identities lead to explosive hilarity. A larcenous employee who has embezzled half a million dollars even offers to return it for a managerial position and the daughter’s hand. Half of the loot is in diamonds and half in cash, stashed in separate but identical bags, but the maid has picked this moment to quit…and has packed her belongings in a third identical bag. This is not going to be the evening Bascom is expecting! Show dates will be held on May 1- 4, and 8-11.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Help Support Our Community Theatre
In order to provide the services described above, we depend on the community for the bulk of our support, both financial and staffing. While much of our income is from ticket and ad sales, these two alone are rarely enough to see us through a season by themselves. Therefore, we regularly have to supplement our income via corporate sponsorships, grants, profit sharing programs, and charitable donations from the community.
Sponsorship of a Birdcage Theatre production is a visible demonstration of your commitment to the cultural and economic development of our community. Choosing to sponsor a show can complement your company's marketing and community involvement strategies and provide a unique opportunity for employee or client entertainment. We are deeply grateful for the support of our Show Sponsors and are glad to recognize their support in the following ways:
Publicity Benefits: Season Brochure: Your business name and/or logo will be included in our season brochure.
Other Advertising: Your logo will be featured on our show posters. Your logo will also be included on our website.
Play Programs: Your business logo or name will be printed on the front cover of your play’s program. A complimentary half-page thank you advertisement will also be placed inside the program.
Curtain Speech: You will be thanked publicly for your support before every performance of your sponsored play.
Tickets: Reward yourself, clients or employees with complimentary tickets to the show you sponsor.
Please take a look at the 'Sponsorship Form' below for additional details, and instructions for submission.
