Corporate Support

FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS, MARKET HOUSE THEATRE HAS GROWN A LOYAL AUDIENCE

AND IT’S STILL GROWING!

Our shows appeal to a wide variety of people, and each performance brings new people to our theatre. Nearly three-quarters of our audience comes from Paducah and the majority of the rest travel from within a 50-mile radius.

Ticket Purchases and Class Fees from our Youth Programs account for less than one half of our annual operating budget

Your business can help MHT keep prices affordable for our community and help our Youth Education program serve children though programs like Theatre in Schools, Story Theatre, DanceMHT, and more!

Like our individual donors, sponsors make Market House Theatre accessible to all by underwriting the tangible costs associated with our performances and youth education programs, including costumes, sets, and the rights to do plays. Our foundations, special donors, and other granting agencies provide the funds for educational staffing and youth outreach programs. We appreciate the support of the following businesses, families, and foundations for helping Market House Theatre continually meet its mission.
