Now in its third decade of production, Writers Theatre’s name has become synonymous with excellence and innovation, its reputation continues to expand into the national realm, and the company’s commitment to mount new works and world premieres alongside classics continues even as its repertoire expands. Its new theatre center, designed by Chicago’s Jeanne Gang and Studio Gang Architects and now completed, is an instant architectural and cultural destination, bringing sophisticated performance capabilities, more suitable public spaces with opportunities for events and on-site entertainment, and a wider audience reach than has been possible ever before.
Partnership with Writers Theatre on its productions, education programming, or Literary Development Initiative presents a unique and valuable opportunity for corporations to align their brand with an award-winning, nationally recognized cultural institution on the North Shore of Chicago, whose annual audience of more than 45,000 patrons are sophisticated and represent key demographics desirable to marketing.
In addition to receiving prominent recognition in Writers Theatre’s program books, and extensive visibility in other print and social media outlets that reach across the Metropolitan Chicago area, Corporate Sponsors are invited to participate in events that celebrate their dedication to Writers.
