Corporate Member Perks

Corporate Membership is available to all sizes and types of businesses, with a range of levels to match your interest, express your community commitment, fulfill your promotional needs, and fit your budget. Your Corporate Member benefits may include: discount and/or complimentary tickets, complimentary individual memberships, film passes, preferred seating, invitation to members-only events and receptions, your Business' name in lights on The Colonial Theatre marquee, and the use of The Colonial Corner for your private reception, depending on the selected level.

Why Become A Corporate Member?

The Colonial Theatre Group, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) arts  organization  operating with professional management governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Built in 1924 and renovated in 1993, The Colonial has a long, rich history of presenting world-class live performances and niche film. Named to the NH Registry of Historic Places in 2004, The Colonial is considered the crown jewel destination of Downtown Keene, welcoming more than 55,000 visitors, including over 8,000 students each year.

Unfortunately, Ticket revenue covers only 55% of total operating expenses, and the cost of maintaining the aging structure is a challenge. Corporate Membership keeps ticket prices affordable, while closing the gap between the cost of production and ticket revenue. It also provides the financial base for maintaining, and sustaining, the historic structure for future audiences.

Please note that the Corporate membership Season runs from September 1 through August 31.
