CROSSROADS THEATER AT FIVE POINTS MAKES ART
Do Not Undervalue Art and The Value of Creating Art to Communities
The Crossroads Theater needs sponsors for its upcoming shows and to pay its operating costs (ticket sales do not cover costs of creating art), but $46 Billion dollars is not needed, only a very small amount, $40,000 dollars.
The call is for ten Sponsors willing to contribute 4000 dollars each, or one sponsor willing to spend $40,000 or 40 sponsors willing to pay $1000 or 400 sponsers contributing 100 dollars or any combination thereof equaling 40,000 dollars. In exchange, depending upon the amount, sponsors will receive tickets to distribute, recognition on advertising in the remaining Crossroads produced shows, programs, seminars, websites, eblasts, mailings and literature. This is a deductible advertising expense for businesses or persons in business and aids the Crossroads Theater’s effort to bring visual art, theater, dance, poetry, music and film back to Five Points.
