Sponsor a Show

Lyric has built a robust sponsorship program for corporations and individuals who want to help Lyric in a significant way. Sponsorships are the very reason Lyric is able to provide stunning special effects like a flying car in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” or lifting a Beast into the air only to become “human again” before your very eyes. Sponsorships also help keep Lyric’s ticket prices low enough for Oklahomans to afford, while making Oklahoma City an attractive cultural destination for patrons outside the metro as well as families looking to relocate to the area.

Between our two venues, the Civic Center and the Plaza Theatre, Lyric is able to offer a well-rounded variety of shows to its patrons. Sponsorships of the different shows also offer a well-rounded variety of benefits, from high-volume logo exposure to VIP preview parties perfect for clients, employees or friends.

Sponsor a Plaza Theatre Show

With the inclusion of tickets to Sponsor Preview Night at every sponsorship level, Plaza sponsorships are also perfect for individuals interested in supporting the arts and treating their family, friends or clients to an exclusive VIP preview party and performance prior to opening night. The fact that this preview is by invitation only with no ticketed admission to the public allows this sponsorship to be fully tax deductible to the donor.

Plaza show sponsorship levels start at $2,000 and can include the following benefits:

Tickets for you and your guests to your sponsored show’s Sponsor Preview Night performance
Acknowledgement in your sponsored show program
Name or logo featured on the LCD Media Wall located in the lobby of the Plaza Theatre
Name or logo featured on all print advertising for your sponsored show
Pre-curtain nightly recorded announcement of sponsorship
Discount prices on additional individual tickets purchased for your sponsored show

Sponsor a Civic Center Show

Civic Center show sponsorships include large blocks of tickets and discounts on individual tickets, perfect for large companies looking to reward employees with special offers and incentives or to entertain clients and vendors. For the company seeking maximum exposure, a summer sponsorship that includes all Civic Center productions is also available.

Civic Center show sponsorship levels start at $4,000 and can include the following benefits:

Blocks of single tickets to Civic Center productions
Discounts on individual tickets
Prime seating season tickets and reserved parking at the Civic Center
Passes to the Circle of Stars reception area during intermission for complimentary wine and soft drinks
Corporate name or logo on Lyric’s major print advertising and promotional materials for sponsored show
