Knee Deep Thoughts from our Playwrights

True, we've taken a few months off from featuring one of our participants in our monthly newsletter.  However, this month, we will feature three of our six playwrights from this year's One Act Play Competition.  The other three will be featured in our March newsletter.

We've intentionally avoided linking any of the playwrights to their scripts.  The playwrights' for each individual script will be revealed at the One Act Competition in March.  However, here we have a brief bio and thoughts from three of our six playwrights.

Your Donations Are Needed

Did you know that less than 60% of DTC's total budget is met through ticket sales?  We rely on your tax-deductible donation to meet the remainder of the expenses for our productions throughout the year. 

Did you know that donors receive reduced-price tickets to all of the shows presented during the year of donation?

Donations can be made through our website at www.destinationtc.org or by mail.  Donations of any amount are appreciated.

Sponsors Available

Did you know that DTC offers named sponsorships for sections of each of our productions?  Sponsors help to offset the expenses of lighting, costumes, sound equipment, set materials, web page maintenance, marketing, facility and the entire production.

Sponsors, in addition to program recognition and recognition in some of the marketing materials (depending on the level of sponsorship), also receive an advertisement in the program and on the website and complementary tickets for the sponsored show.  Full details, including size of adds, sponsorship rates and number of complimentary tickets is included on the website on our sponsor page.
