Own a business? Interested in Sponsorship? Check out the rewarding opportunities below!
The Madison Association for Stage Kids, also known as M.A.S.K., is the parent booster organization for the Madison High School drama program. Every performance season at Madison we reach out into our wonderful community and surrounding areas in search of generous businesses like yours, who are interested in Sponsoring our students at various levels. All sponsorships come with advertisement at our performances and other various levels of perks including free tickets, cast photos, t-shirts and more. Our program is currently accepting sponsorships for our upcoming production of GET SMART - to be performed November 21-23, 2025 at Madison High School in Middletown, Ohio. Seasonal Sponsorship spots, that would support both the Fall Play and the 2026 Spring Musical Once Upon A Mattress, which will take the stage March of 2026, are also available and include our highest level of sponsorship perks.
How much does sponsorship cost & why is it important?
Sponsorship opportunities run between $250 - $2,500 and cover a wide range of growing expenses from scripts, props, costumes & wigs, furniture to give our sets dimension & personality, lighting & sound equipment rentals, and lumber & paint for set construction to help our shows feel real. On average, and depending on the show, it can cost a school like ours between $5,000 - $15,000 to put on a full scale production from start to finish for our community to come out and enjoy. Ticket sales is the main source of income for the theatre, and - for the most part - that only covers purchasing the performance licenses and scripts from show to show. The funds to cover everything else comes from fundraising and donations, and that's where M.A.S.K. comes in.
We believe theatre (and all the Arts) is incredibly important in the lives of our kids and teaches valuable lifelong skills they will carry with them forever. When you help by sponsoring our program you are impacting the lives of so many kids in a positive way by helping to keep our program growing and maintaining a level of professionalism that pushes them to work harder, dream bigger, and improve year after year.
Below are the different levels of sponsorship & what M.A.S.K. provides your business at each level:
$250 Sponsorship – Full page ad in our Program, a running ad on our lobby screens before/after each performance and during intermission, a social media shoutout with your ad the week of the performance, and a souvenir Cast Photo.

How do I provide a Sponsorship?
M.A.S.K. makes sponsoring our program really simple. Just fill out the Google Form below and be sure to select BUSINESS SPONSORSHIP and the level you'd like to sponsor at, then send in payment to the address below. Sponsorships help us greatly with needs that arise while we are still in the rehearsal phase of our production. Because of this we ask that Sponsors try to have their sponsorship payment in no later than October 1st, 2025. However, we will accept show-level sponsorships & payments through October 31, 2025.
What if M.A.S.K. has already met their fundraising goal for this show?
In the very unlikely event that we reach our fundraising/sponsorship goal for any of our shows, any monies donated to M.A.S.K. would be put 100% towards the next show in our season and so forth. Your generosity to our program is always used 100% towards benefiting Madison Theatre and the students who participate in it.
