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 />
