Join the SEAT SQUAD!
“From Coach to First Class”
We’re Upgrading Our Seats!
We know – you love the shows, but the chairs are uncomfortable and cramped. After 35 years, it’s finally time to retire our seats and create a first-class experience that measures up to our award-winning productions.
First Class Includes:
More legroom: Each row will gain at least 5 inches of additional leg room!
Wider seats: CFRT’s current seats are only 19”. New 21” chairs will give everyone more room to enjoy the show.
Better accessibility: A re-imagined seating plan will allow for better audience circulation, handrails from top to bottom, and better lighting throughout the theatre.
How Do I Get On Board?
Just fill out the form included here to sponsor a First Class Seat. Once you join the Seat Squad you get:
A name plate with the name(s) or message of your choice will be installed on one of our new seats where it will remain for the life of the chair!
An invitation to the re-opening reception and open house!
A commemorative seating map noting the location of your seat!
The Investment
Sponsor a first class seat for only $2,000. Split your investment annually or monthly over 4 years. That’s just $500 a year or $42 a month!
Upgrade!
Sponsor 5 or more seats and CHOOSE the location of the chairs that bear your name! Seat selection will be based on a first pledged, first served basis.
I Sponsored An Original Chair… What Happens Now?
Don’t worry! All of our wonderful past donor names will be incorporated into a beautiful installation in the lobby. If you are giving again, you get to pick the seat your new plaque goes on.
