Sponsor

When you sponsor a SAY Theater production, you not only market your business to a captive audience – your gift sets the stage for a bright future for Upper Peninsula youth.

In Kind

We are always eager to grow our resources to better serve the youth in our community. If you would like to donate products or services to support our operations, we’d love to hear from you!

Why Give?

Superior Arts Youth Theater depends on the financial support of our community. When you give to SAY Theater, you provide local youth with the means and resources required to create, grow, and thrive in the arts. 

Access to the arts makes a difference! Studies show that youth with regular access to arts activities develop stronger social skills and deeper empathy that serve them throughout their lives. Kids rich in creativity and confidence grow up to be adults with stronger connections to their community and the world around them. 

As a small nonprofit organization, gifts of any size make a significant impact on our programs. Whether are able to give $5 or $5,000, your support helps us further our mission and keep the arts accessible to youth in the Upper Peninsula.

Why Arts Education Matters

Arts Education programs like SAY Theater are often under-funded by state and local governments, despite overwhelming evidence that access to the arts greatly contribute to students’ overall success at school.

The benefits of Arts Education during formative years help kids:

  • Engage with school and reduce stress
  • Develop social-emotional and interpersonal skills
  • Enrich their life experiences
  • Handle constructive criticism in productive ways
  • Bolster overall academic achievement
  • Improve focus

Every kid deserves access to the arts. 

With your support, SAY Theater can continue to provide quality youth arts programs in the Central Upper Peninsula. All donations are tax-deductible and directly support kids in and around Marquette County. 

Every donation helps to keep year-round arts programming accessible and exciting for UP kids.

What Our Community is Saying About SAY Theater

I enjoyed how much my daughter learned, singing, dancing, working with props, working with a team, and learning about different components of theater like costume, mics, staging, etc.

The high-level of theatre that was achieved with such young kids. It was an amazing experience for them, for us as parents, and the Marquette community as a whole. –
