 Why Support The Barnhill Center?

As a Partner or Advertiser, you’ll have a unique opportunity to align your name or brand with one of the region’s premier entertainment venues, while gaining meaningful exposure to engaged audiences. Our Entertainment Series attracts discerning patrons who actively invest in the arts and community enrichment.

As a Partner or Advertiser, you can increase your visibility, strengthen community connections, and demonstrate leadership in the continued growth and vitality of Brenham.

Join us as a Partner

  • Your presence on TBC website will be seen by up to 96,000 visitors per year. About 29,000 per year are first-time visitors.
  • Inclusion in our patron email blasts seen by up to 5,500 recipients per show, both locals and tourists. We offer 12 –15 shows each year.
  • Visibility at TBC shows with up to 317 attendees per show, both locals and tourists.

How Will My Partnership and Advertising Dollars Be Used?

Like other cultural arts venues, TBC must secure partners and advertisers to help with the many behind-the-scenes expenses that make live performances possible. While artist fees continue to rise, we must also provide their stage production, hospitality, advertising, event staffing and facility upkeep.
Your support will contribute to the vital work that happens every day, so we can continue providing the excellence you expect and deserve.

Volunteer

Experience the excitement of our live performances while helping The Barnhill Center put on a great show for our patrons! We rely on our team of volunteers to help us with a number of crucial tasks, including:
    • Greeters are stationed outside of the theatre to welcome guests, open doors, and direct pedestrian traffic into the building. Indoor greeters help direct guests and answer questions.
    • Ticket Scanners greet guests in the front lobby, check/scan their tickets to admit patrons into the theatre.
    • Ushers greet guests at the auditorium doors and offer to show patrons to their seats. They also answer various questions the patrons may have about the venue and/or event.
