Community Expansion SBTS has a proven model of Admission Free Shakespeare in open-air and touring formats across multiple cities in Los Angeles and Orange County, with a recent expansion to Long Beach. This indicates strong potential for partnerships with municipal venues, sponsor-led programs, and new city outreach to grow audience reach and earned media opportunities.

Nonprofit Partnerships As a nonprofit with a broad youth, family, and senior reach and a history of serving over 580,000 attendees, SBTS is a prime candidate for grants, sponsor collaborations, and corporate social responsibility programs. Propose sponsorship tiers tied to venue expansion, audience diversity, and educational impact.

Affordable Access Admission Free performances create a compelling value proposition for schools, community groups, and cultural funders seeking inclusive programming. Sales opportunities exist in school partnerships, summer programs, and community festivals that require accessible, high-quality theater experiences.

Strategic Tech Utilize the existing tech stack (WordPress, Salesforce, AWS, Google Workspace) to build a donor CRM-enabled marketing funnel, event ticketing (even for free events), and volunteer management. A targeted outreach program can enhance donor engagement, increase sponsorship revenue, and streamline operations for the expanding touring schedule.

Talent and Venues With a lean team and two core programs, SBTS can leverage partnerships with local theaters, schools, and cultural institutions to co-produce or host performances, expand venue networks, and cross-sell in adjacent markets. This structure supports scalable programming and diversified revenue streams through collaborations.
