FreeFor all

“We are creating the

audiences oF

tomorroW.”

froM tHe Co-CHaIrs:Each summer, with the help of numerous community-minded sponsors,

the Shakespeare Theatre Company presents the Free For All, a series of

free Shakespeare performances for the city of D.C. Now in its 25th year,

this event remains our signature outreach program and for the past 10

years, a coalition of companies has come together to provide essential

financial support to keep these two weeks of Shakespeare performances

free and accessible to everyone.

Former Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, Jane Alexander,

enthused about the Free For All’s importance to Washington: “There was a

couple sitting next to me with a very, very young child, and I began to talk

to them and I asked: ‘Why are you here?’ And they said, ‘Where else would

we have the opportunity to introduce our child to Shakespeare and be able

to afford it?’” We are writing to ask that you join Ameriprise, CoStar Group

Inc., Douglas Development Corporation, Gould Property Company, JM

Zell Partners, Inc. and The Washington Post in supporting this cornerstone

of Washington’s cultural scene and this dynamic community outreach

program. Make a difference that will reach the farthest corners of our city and also make a statement about the value of the shakespeare theatre Company’s outstanding contributions to our national stage.

Free For All is a critical program that ensures, year after year, that exposure

to the arts is not a luxury restricted only to those with access; your support

of this initiative makes a clear statement that you believe art is fundamental

to the health of our city. Your investment reflects your understanding that a

vibrant Washington, D.C. includes a strong arts community. An investment

in the Free For All Community Partnership will help us ensure that this

longstanding Washington treasure can reach the largest possible audience.

In return, you will receive significant publicity and exposure across a broad

cross-section of Washington, D.C.

Also, mark your calendar for a special reception we are hosting during the

run of the Free For All to thank all of our Free For All Community Partners.

Within this brochure you will find a description of the sponsorship benefits

available to you and contact information for the Shakespeare Theatre

Company Corporate Giving Office. Please accept our sincere thanks in

advance for your serious consideration. We look forward to working with

you to make this Free For All a memorable and successful event all around.
