Red Cloud Opera House Sponsorship Opportunities

Willa Cather believed in the power of the arts to uplift and inspire, and she carried a lifelong affection for the Red Cloud Opera House—the place where she encountered music, theatre, and the excitement of live performance. Today, the Opera House remains a space where creativity flourishes and where people gather to make memories. 

Support from sponsors ensures we can provide invaluable experiences for area residents and school children whose lives are enriched by their exposure to the arts. In addition to benefits like complimentary tickets and premium seating, a sponsorship puts your name or business in front of nearly 2,000 patrons, more than 8,000 annual visitors, and 90,000 individuals who engage with the National Willa Cather Center online and through social media.
