Ocean State Theatre Company's 'Take a Seat' Challenge Continues

Ocean State Theatre Company (OSTC), the not-for-profit professional theatre company, which is currently celebrating its fourth season in its state-of-the-art theatre in Warwick, is thrilled to have surpassed last season's "Take a Seat" Challenge goal, by nearly 20%! During its first season, 89 seats were "taken," and are proudly displaying dedicated nameplates throughout the theatre.

"We are so humbled by the response and grateful to every supporter," said Amiee Turner, OSTC's Producing Artistic Director. "The second phase of the 'Take a Seat' Challenge has already begun and we are thrilled with the number of seats which have already been taken as part of the new phase. Our patrons have seized the opportunity to support our organization and become a real part of Ocean State Theatre for years to come by placing their name, the name of a loved one, and business names on one or more of the fixed seats in the auditorium."

NOW it's your chance to be an important part of Ocean State Theatre! Why not consider "taking a seat" for one or more holiday gifts this season?

Each seat is being sold for $500, is 100% tax deductible, and will include name recognition on a plaque, which will be affixed to the individual seat. Seat locations are being sold on a first-come first-served basis and will be a lasting gift memorializing your personalized message, your name, your company's name, or that of a loved one. Each donor may make a single $500 gift for each seat or choose one of two payment plans (three or six month). All seats purchased by July 31, 2016 will be installed prior to the 2016/17 season.
