Partner with ChiTheatreTeach
Give Chicago's next generation of storytellers the chance to learn, grow, and create!
The First Draft isn't just a camp; it's a springboard for pre-professionals to get the experience they need to transition from students to artists. Choosing to sponsor one of our campers, who would otherwise not have access to this level of training, is an investment in the Chicago community and the future of musical theatre. Because of your contributions, young actors will write and star in an original musical while working with industry professionals to hone their skills in acting, singing, and dance. As a sponsor, your brand becomes a visible part of our community. Your logo will reach hundreds of North Side families through our official camp apparel, social media spotlights, and our permanent Digital Cast Recording.
