Why Support The Talent Machine?
In its 30+ year history, the Company has involved hundreds of children and families in producing high-quality musical theater. But it is more than just an amazing theater experience.
“The Talent Machine Company truly became like a new family for us,” says Lynette Muse Crook, whose two children, Matthew and Marissa, participated for seven years. “The Company gives kids a place to shine and discover their hidden talents – on stage or backstage. It’s a joy.”
And it’s a “valuable community asset,” say Gala sponsors Danielle and Mark Tidman. "We decided to become sponsors because we want to be there for the Company the way Talent Machine has been there for our daughter."
Tickets: $200 per person 21 and over, and $175 for anyone under 21.
To join the Tidmans and many other businesses and families, learn more about the sponsorship opportunities that are available to support this special theater company. We are also looking for silent auction items ranging from gift cards to weekend getaways.
