THANK YOU

The Dandies are building a network of important people who are patrons of art and who genuinely want to see Big A experiments and productions thrive and who really want to see unique and innovative stuff originate from and within the Hampton Roads area.

We thank our generous supporters and sponsors who are forever Dandies:


join OUR NETWORK

SUPPORT

When people go to see a play, their imagination is encouraged. They are asked not only to imagine the lives that they see onstage but to see greater possibilities in their own lives. Supporting The Foppish Dandies & Co. makes you an agent for change, change that elevates, that expands, that unleashes potential and galvanizes the collective imagination.

Projects by The Foppish Dandies have largely been funded by small seed capital, with production costs and material expenses mostly paid out of pocket and reconciled by ticket sales at the end of the run. Expenses include royalty costs and licensing fees, lumber purchases, makeup, fabric, paper copies, labor costs and raw materials. We rely greatly on heavy marketing and networking to drive ticket sales to continue to create experiences with high production value. You can support our endeavors in many ways:

become a subscriber

We will soon be offering subscriber packages where you may purchase a set of tickets good for a determined number of performance nights for any shows.


become a sponsor

Sponsorships are a key means for maintaining and building audience capacities– defraying the costs of producing and maintaining affordable prices; raising the level of operation; extending the sphere of influence; and, making plans for expansion.

Sponsors have the opportunity to put their information in front of hundreds of people who may not otherwise be aware of the business's products or services

By sponsoring shows, playbills and/or the entire season, you ensure that The Foppish Dandies & Co. continues to produce high quality productions year after year.
