Ways to Support

The Count Basie Theatre is a landmark in Red Bank and a destination for those in Monmouth County and beyond. It is important that future generations have the opportunity to enjoy all that the Theatre has to offer its patrons.

Because ticket sales cover less than 50% of the Count Basie Theatre’s expenses, the additional support of donations, membership, special events and grants is essential.

You can help…

Be a Part of the Basie – Membership has premiere perks!

With membership ranging from $50 to $10,000+, the benefits abound.

Your Company’s Name in Lights – Corporate Sponsorships

  • Logo placement and sponsorship credit on all printed materials for the chosen show
  • Calendar of events recognition reaching over 60,000 ticket purchasers
  • Inclusion in weekly email to 30,000 Basie supporters
  • And, more!
Reach 160,000 in the Basie Audience – Advertising Opportunities

  • Showtime is the program book distributed free to all who attend shows at the Theatre. Ads are a great way to reach a captured audience and also a way to show your support for the Basie. It is published each Summer and is distributed from September to August.
  • Right in Their Hands – all tickets distributed from the Box Office are held in envelopes. You can share your message or special offer with ticket purchasers by advertising on the front or back of these envelopes.
  • Need the Basics – When tickets are sent in the mail, a Box Office brochure is included. This piece contains general information, parking and directions to the Theatre. It can also include your ad.
For details on these opportunities, please contact Rachel O. Warnick at 732.224.8778x118 or rwarnick@countbasietheatre.org.
