CHARITY PARTNER APPLICATION

Market Theatre’s 24 Hour Musical team is currently looking for our next charity partner. We believe that theatre can (and should!) be used to make a difference in our world. Each year, we produce a 24 Hour Musical, putting together a full-scale, Broadway-style musical production in only 24 hours. Tickets to the show are free, with donations accepted, and all proceeds from the show go directly to our charity partner.

Past beneficiaries include the Cleo Bailey Experiment, the Lot Project, Foothills Alliance, Meals on Wheels, Anderson Free Clinic, Cancer Association of Anderson, the Anderson Foster Parents Association, and DCEC (Developmental Center for Exceptional Children). We are always on the lookout for new ways that theatre arts can benefit our world, so whether you are a local charity or a global organization, we would love to hear from you!

““Our experience with 24 Hour Musical was a true blessing. We were amazed at the effort and talent that was poured into this production! The opportunities to share our story, through working with this amazing group of actors was invaluable. We even gained a wonderful employee from the experience! Thank you 24 Hour Musical for your heart for this community!””

— Laura Capell, Marketing Director, DCEC (2016 Charity Partner)

APPLICATION DEADLINE: May 8, 2024 at 11:59pm

All interested organizations should apply, even if you applied in previous years. Previous beneficiaries should not reapply. At this time, there are many non-profits in our community that we hope to partner with before revisiting past partnerships.

Please note: Only 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations are eligible. We can not accept any requests for support of an individual.

Market Theatre cannot guarantee any specific amount of funding from the event. In recent years, beneficiaries have received between $4,000-$9,000.

Feel free to contact us at any time with questions!

How would your organization use the money raised by the 24 Hour Musical?

We typically host and attend several events leading up to the 24 Hour Musical in August. We want to be able to promote our beneficiary at as many events as possible - would you be willing to provide a representative and/or promotional material for these events?

Are you able to send a representative to speak about your organization at the Kick Off Party and at the Performance (a Friday and Saturday evening in August)?

Would you be willing to promote the 24 Hour Musical performance to your donors, staff, and volunteers? If so, how?
