SPECIAL EVENTS & FUNDRAISING<br />
Throughout the season, Portland Stage hosts several interactive and informative events that showcase different<br />
elements of all we do—from production, to new work, to education. Participants meet staff and artists, often<br />
rubbing elbows with fellow supporters over wine and cheese, and attendees leave knowing more about how<br />
Portland Stage is accomplishing our mission of art, education, and community. Our special events are a great<br />
opportunity for our corporate partners to gain visibility throughout our community, and we are always eager to<br />
work with local businesses in developing customized partnership packages that highlight corporate<br />
contributions to Maine’s cultural dialogue.<br />
In FY18, we expanded our sponsorship<br />
opportunities beyond the Mainstage,<br />
and secured three new corporate<br />
partners, The Cedars, Verdante /<br />
NewHeight Group, and Spinnaker Trust,<br />
who joined our long-time Mainstage<br />
show sponsors: Migis Hotel Group,<br />
WEX, LL Bean, and Wright-Ryan<br />
