SPONSORSHIP
TICKET SPONSORSHIP
East Coast Theatre believes that the magic of live theatre should be for everyone. No one should miss out simply because of cost.
You can make a difference. By donating a ticket, or even a few, you can give someone in need an unforgettable evening of laughter, wonder, and escape. Your gift could bring joy to residents of rest homes, local charities, or brighten the life of someone who could use a lift.
Every ticket you donate creates a moment of happiness that lasts far beyond the final curtain. And as a heartfelt thank you, your generosity will be recognized on social media (if you wish), included in our show program, and acknowledged on our website.
Share the gift of theatre—because no one should be left out of the magic.
Details for donating tickets to our first show will be available in January 2026.
SHOW ADVERTISING
At East Coast Theatre, we believe the magic of live performance belongs to everyone – and local support makes that possible.
There are two simple ways your business can make a difference:
Advertise in our show programmes
Reach engaged local audiences while showing your support for the arts. Programme advertising helps cover production costs and connects your business with the heart of our community.
Sponsor a ticket
Give the gift of theatre by sponsoring a ticket for someone in need – a way to brighten a night for individuals or families who might otherwise miss out.
Every ad and every sponsored seat helps keep our stage lights shining. Together, we can ensure that the East Coast Theatre in Ōpōtiki remains a place where everyone feels welcome.
Each year, we present a mix of productions for all tastes and experience levels. Whether you’re drawn to the stage, the script, or behind the scenes, there’s a place for you here. Follow us on Facebook to stay in the loop!
