Why Sponsor an Oak Park Festival Theatre production?
Since 1975, Oak Park Festival Theatre has welcomed thousands of neighbors from Oak Park and beyond to enjoy what downtown Oak Park has to offer. This past year marked our 48th successful season which brought nearly 3,500 individuals from 225 unique zip codes into the heart of our community. These audiences visit our local attractions. They shop at our stores. They eat at our restaurants.
By sponsoring Oak Park Festival Theatre, you are ensuring downtown Oak Park remains a vibrant arts and culture destination
SPONSORHIP REACH (BY THE NUMBERS)
Our Audience is Growing!
In 2022, we hosted 2,600 audience members in Austin Gardens. In 2023, that number grew over 3,400 attendees. In 2024, we will be adding more performance dates and expect to welcome up to 4,000 audience members between July and August.
225 Zip Codes
As our audience grows, so does our reach. Though, most of our audience is local, we were visited by patrons from 14 different states in Summer 2023. We thrive because we invite diversity into our community.
Rapidly Growing Presence
In the past year, our Instagram follower count has seen a 30% increase with no signs of slowing. Additional funding increases our capacity to keep up-to-date on trends and expand our reach even further.
