“Take Your Seat” Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get to pick the seats I wish to sponsor, or will they be assigned?
You have the opportunity to choose your seats on a first come, first served basis, or you can choose your location (seats remain in the lower balcony and on the main floor) and we will assign the best seats available.
What does the plaque look like? How many letters/words will fit? What can I put on the plaque?
Brass plaques are 7/8" tall x 2 3/4" wide and are recessed into the arm of the seat. There is space for three (3) lines
of text with ten (10) characters per line (30 characters max.) Spaces count as characters.
How long will my plaque be on the seat?
Seat-sponsor plaques will remain on the seat for the life of the chair, which we expect to be at least 25 years.
When will I see my name on the seat?
Currently, we issue plaques on a quarterly basis.
If I sponsor a seat, will I get to sit in it when I come to an event at the Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts?
Sponsoring a seat does not in any way guarantee that the seat will be available to you during performances. Tickets (general
admission or reserved) would still need to be purchased.
Do I have to pay for the seat sponsorship(s) all at once?
Payment will be due within thirty (30) days of your seat reservation(s). After that, if payment has not been received, the seats will
be released. We will mail one notice to you as a reminder of your payment due.
How can I sponsor a seat(s)?
Complete the reservation form and return it to the Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts with your payment in full made by cash or check.

If this is too large a commitment for you, consider going in on a seat with friends or family. If you’re able, please consider sponsoring more than one seat – even a whole row. Donations are tax-deductible.
