For fifteen years, the Champaign Urbana Theatre Company has brought to life such shows as The Music Man, Guys and Dolls, Evita, Fiddler on the Roof, Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Miserables, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  With the support and influence of hundreds of talented individuals, including actors and actresses of all ages, directors, musicians, board members, technical staff, designers, and volunteers, CU Theatre Company has built a reputation of presenting tremendous, high quality performances.  CU Theatre Company is also working to fulfill its artistic mission of providing opportunities for individuals of all ages and theatrical experience to participate in community theatre in such an historic venue as the Virginia Theatre.

People of all ages from throughout central Illinois attend performances of the CU Theatre Company.  Shows such as Bye Bye Birdie, Oliver!, and Annie, which feature many children on stage, attract even larger audiences comprised of families, friends and distant relatives.

Providing the community with such artistically sophisticated productions is difficult.  Many experienced people donate their time and talents to the Theatre Company so that we can maintain this high level of excellence.  But, talented and dedicated as these people are, financial support is also an integral part of community theatre.

As a Corporate Sponsor for one or more of the productions in our upcoming season, you, too, can become a part of this community activity while gathering positive exposure for your business among a well-established and economically viable audience.
