Corporate Sponsorship

Partner with a Cultural Icon

The Isaac Theatre Royal is more than a stage—it’s a symbol of creativity, resilience, and community in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Managed by a charitable foundation, our theatre depends on the generous support of sponsors and donors to continue opening our doors, elevating local talent, and inspiring audiences across generations.

As an independent theatre, we play a vital role in the cultural and economic vibrancy of our city—welcoming over 110,000 visitors each year, supporting more than 5,000 jobs, and contributing over $7 million annually to the local economy.

With your support, we can do even more.


Why Sponsor the Isaac Theatre Royal?

By becoming a sponsor, your business will:

  • Help us keep the arts alive, accessible, and thriving in Canterbury

  • Support emerging artists and community organisations through reduced venue hire

  • Enable transformative programs in education, performance, and creativity

  • Be aligned with innovation, imagination, and community leadership

Your sponsorship helps us transition from a theatre-for-hire to a creative hub—developing, curating and facilitating events that reflect and shape the identity of our city.


Tailored Sponsorship Opportunities

We offer bespoke sponsorship packages designed to align with your brand values and business goals. Whether you're looking to elevate your profile, entertain clients, or make a lasting impact on your community—we’ll work with you to make it meaningful.

Opportunities include:

  • Naming rights within the venue

  • Principal, Platinum, Gold, and Silver Sponsorships

  • Presenting Partner for seasons or individual events

  • Exclusive use of our function spaces

  • Complimentary tickets to selected shows

  • VIP access to exclusive theatre events
