As we prepare for 2025, the theatre arts and choral music programs at East Lincoln High School are looking for businesses, organizations, and individuals willing to partner with us as we work to bring high-quality performance opportunities to our stage. Our choral students perform four concerts annually, and the theatre program produces a full season that includes four MainStage productions and additional cabaret and specialty events.

​

As we work to increase the quality of our student performances, we recognize the need for greater support on all levels. The arts programs at East Lincoln receive minimal funding, requiring the students, parents, and director to be responsible for raising funds needed for music, play rights, royalties, rentals, costumes, props, sets, lighting, sound, and any travel or enrichment experiences. These performing programs offer so much,

not only the students involved but the community at large. Nothing is more exciting to our student performers than presenting their work to a full house, something we have seen shift from a rarity to a regular occurrence! Your contributions, whether financial or in-kind, are crucial to the continued success of our programs.

 

If you have questions about our program, sponsorships, advertisements, or in-kind contributions, please contact Greg Franklin at (704) 736-1017 ext. 25302 or gregory.franklin@lcsnc.org.

 

Some additional information as you consider how you might partner with us this year. In addition to the actors on stage, students are involved in every aspect of the show. Set construction and dressing, costuming, lights & sound, stage management, ushering, and running crew are just some of the areas students are able to explore.

​

It is not uncommon for a production to utilize over 75 students to bring it all to fruition.  Full-length productions typically play to full houses for six to eight performances, and it is very common for most performances to be sold out.

 

Sponsors receive tickets to all concerts and productions throughout 2025, as well as recognition in all of the programs and playbills.
