• Partial Ticket Sponsor

Title 1 schools may qualify for a Partial Ticket Sponsor arranged by Pollyanna Theatre Company. These are provided by individuals in the theatre community, and are limited in number. If your school might require a partial sponsor in order to make the field trip possible for students/families to afford, please send an email to joy.pollytheatre[at]gmail.com today, and we will do our best to partner your school with a partial sponsor. (A typical sponsorship can bring your ticket price down to about $3.00/person seeing the show.)
