Individual Gifts

Play a role in the life of Overshadowed Theatrical Productions through participating in our Fund Campaign.

I invite you to sponsor one of our productions at one of the levels detailed in the table below. Your sponsorship is an excellent way to play a major role in bringing live theatre to Itasca and the surrounding area. Theatre sponsorship is rewarding not only for the positive marketing benefits but also as a statement that your company cares about your community.

—Reba Hervas, President

The Fund Campaign provides essential resources to bridge the gap between expenses and ticket revenue. Without your generous support, the experience of Overshadowed would not be possible.

Gift Matching Back to Top

Yes! I want to further my support of Overshadowed with a Matching Gift!

Your gifts can possibly be matched by your employer – doubling or even tripling the amount of your original gift – and increasing your benefits. Just contact your Personnel or Human Resources department, and ask if your company matches gifts to non-profit organizations. Fill out the form, and send it in. It’s that easy!
