Why sponsor & our story

Not an ad. A shared story.

Arts Collective Theatre is Jacksonville's newest community theatre — a creative gathering place built on accessibility, inclusion, artistic excellence, community, collaboration, and bold storytelling.

Why partner with us

Three promises to every sponsor.

01

Visibility

We'll recognize your investment clearly and consistently — on our website, in playbills, in email and social media, in the lobby, and on production materials.

02

Connection

We'll create authentic ways for your employees, clients, and community to engage — VIP nights, backstage experiences, meet-the-cast receptions, and team workshops.

03

Impact

We'll show you what your support made possible — not only how many times your logo appeared.

Who we are

A new kind of community.

Arts Collective Theatre is a collaboration between theatre artists Lee Hamby and Julie Harrington — a sanctuary for artists of all backgrounds, where creativity flourishes and new ideas come to life.

Julie has been a passionate advocate for the arts since childhood, with a lifetime dedicated to musical theater. Lee, a Jacksonville native, brings more than two decades of acting, directing, and design experience across the U.S. and Europe.

Together they're building an inclusive, artist-centered creative home for Northeast Florida — and our Founding Partners will be recognized as the organizations and leaders who helped build it from the beginning.
