Operational Support

GREAT is thankful for the generosity of our donors whose annual support bridges the gap between ticket sales and the true cost of producing high quality shows, camps, and education outreach programming to ensure everyone in Central Minnesota has access to the transformative power of the arts. Gifts of all sizes collectively make a big impact. To protect donor privacy, individual donor names are not listed online. Their generosity is acknowledged in our printed show programs.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Central MN Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Thank You Sponsors!

Ticket sales cover just 60% of the cost to produce our live theatre productions. Our sponsors help us produce shows of the highest artistic quality. Generous financial support from these local businesses help ensure a thriving arts community where people want to live, work, and play.
