Become a Corporate Member and make your company the star of the show!

Picture this: You are honoring your best clients and top employees ... an elegant pre-show cocktail party ... then you guide them into the historic Chubb Theatre ... it's the thrill of opening night ... a world-class Broadway show or concert ... with your company's name in lights.

From Bob Newhart, Jackson Browne and B.B. King, to Mandy Patinkin, Judy Collins and Lily Tomlin, to Hairspray, Tap Dogs! and RENT, the Capitol Center for the Arts is an incredible resource for you and your customers, your employees and their families -- and your marketing dollars

The Capitol Center for the Arts' Corporate Membership Program is a great opportunity to associate your company and employees with one of New Hampshire's most vibrant and fascinating arts, entertainment and educational institutions. We offer high profile connections to your audience. Exciting corporate opportunities including company presence at sponsored events, logos on advertising materials, and unique opportunities to entertain your clients in style.

The Capitol Center for the Arts Corporate Membership is a terrific investment. One of New Hampshire's greatest success stories, the Center hosts more than 100,000 patrons and 25,000 students at over 80 national and international performances each season. Winner of Business NH's Business of the Year Award (1998), the Corporate Fund's Dunfey Award for Excellence in Management (2000) and Yankee Magazine's New England Travel Guide Editor's Pick (2002), the Capitol Center is a lively partner that wants to work with you to make your business even better, and your customers and employees happier

The Capitol Center for the Arts is the leading arts and entertainment center in New Hampshire -- and available to everyone.
