Where does your Sponsorship money go?
This is a very important question. To run a theater there are many fees that we incur. We pay musical rights to ASCAP,BMI. We also pay licensing and royalty fees to MTI, Pioneer Drama and other publishing companies for each show, rehearsal and performance. For large Broadway productions our rights can reach up to $4000 not including sets, lighting, sound backdrops and props.  Every sponsorship we receive goes directly back into JPA to add more items to cut our costs. 

​

In 2022, we opened our Teen Outreach program that sponsors a FREE 10 week theater production class .This is a non profit 501 C3  and so all donations are gratefully received . This helps us cover the costs of our teen productions and also gives our teens a safe place to create and be supported. 

Sponsorship & Donations also  transfers in lower ticket pricing for our community, as we believe that everyone should enjoy live theatre at one low price. We also do not charge audition or participation fees for our Mainstage productions. We survive purely on  ticket and youth program sales and we are very thankful that we are still here.
