See Our Sponsors
Our Sponsors Are Our Angels. Every nonprofit organization needs corporate sponsors. But in the theatre world, there’s a tradition of calling those who back the show Angels. At Mill Mountain Theatre, we need angels and treat these celestials with joy and respect. Mill Mountain Theatre’s Corporate Partners Program gratefully acknowledges in-kind and cash gifts of $500 or more from area companies and firms, and provides benefits that encourage them to be active participants in what they help put on stage. It is a flexible program encouraging sponsors to enjoy the Theatre they support.
You can see our current sponsors in playbills, on printed show promotional materials, and on our website. On days of performances, names and logos of sponsors are projected on the Jumbotron technical wall in the Trinkle MainStage lobby. Find out how your company can earn benefits by supporting Mill Mountain Theatre.

SHARE THE MAGIC
Live theatre is a powerful influence for children, nourishing their imaginations and inspiring them to rise above boundaries that seem to limit their success. For teenagers, theatre experience and skills often open paths to careers by affirming interests as valuable talents.
Not every family in our community can afford to give their kids the experiences offered by Mill Mountain Theatre. That’s why we ask for contributions to support what we can give to families for their children. The Share the Magic fund underwrites free Young Audience shows, provide scholarships for MMT Conservatory classes and gives complimentary tickets for MainStage shows to clients of partner charities. This season those charities are Apple Ridge Farms, Child Health Investment Partnership of Roanoke, Goodwill Industries of the Valleys, HopeTree Family Services, West End Center for Youth and YMCA After School and Beacons programs.
Sponsors who support Share the Magic Fund in 2023 are First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, Freedom First Credit Union, Member One Federal Credit Union and She’s International Boutique.
To learn more about our literacy initiatives, our Share the Magic initiatives, or to donate books or funds to either one, please contact Suzanne Cresswell at development@nullmillmountain.org or call 540.342.5761.
