We have 1300 (seats) ways to honor that special person in your life.

“Your Seat in the Spotlight” is a once in a lifetime opportunity to celebrate your family, friends, business, or the memory of a loved one by naming a seat in The Community Theatre auditorium of the Mayo Performing Arts Center! The Seat Campaign offers you the chance to leave a lasting legacy and play an important role in enhancing your community’s way of life.

Maintain the Dream
Donations to “Your Seat in the Spotlight” will continue to fund ongoing Community Theatre renovations and future capital projects.  To date, we have sold 117 seats for a total of $200,000. These contributions helped us complete the Balcony Lobby Renovations in spring 2011.

We Saved You a Seat. Now put YOUR name on it.

Take “Your Seat in the Spotlight,” and enjoy having your name, or that person you wish to honor, laser engraved on a plaque on the armrest of an elegant seat.

You can name one seat or an entire row and pledge your payment over time. When you sponsor a seat, we will acknowledge your gift to the recipient of your choice. Seat donations are 100% tax-deductible as allowed by law.  



Be Serious or Poetic, Sentimental or Clever. Just Be Sure To Act Now!
You can dedicate a seat:

• As an individual, couple, or family
• For your children, grandchildren, or parents
• In memory of a loved one
• With the name of your business or organization
• Marking a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion
• To honor a retiring employee
• Or with your favorite quotation
