2026 Partnership Opportunities
The County Shakespeare Company (CSC) is thrilled to announce our inaugural 2026 season. This summer, we are bringing the magic of the Bard to the heart of Prince Edward County with two distinctly captivating professional productions. We open in June with the chilling ambition and supernatural shadows of Macbeth, followed in August by the sun-drenched wit and romantic revelry of Much Ado About Nothing.
As a Founding Partner, your business will take center stage during a cultural milestone. Aligning with the CSC guarantees your brand unparalleled visibility among a highly engaged audience, perfectly bridging our loyal, year-round County residents and the heavy influx of summer tourists seeking premium arts and entertainment.
More than just a marketing opportunity, this is an investment in the cultural fabric of our community. Your sponsorship directly supports our incredible roster of professional actors, high-caliber production design, and our commitment to keeping ticket prices accessible for everyone who calls the County home.
