ANNUAL FUND CONTRIBUTION

A tax-deductible contribution is appreciated, no matter the amount. Approximately 55% of operating budget comes from season memberships and ticket sales. The remainder comes from personal and corporate donations, sponsorship of plays, advertising in our program and grants from foundations and arts organizations.

MEMORIALS / HONORIUM CONTRIBUTIONS

Tribute gifts to the Meridian Little Theatre, whether large or small, mean lasting pleasure to thousands of theatre lovers in the years ahead.

CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL GIFTS

From small private trusts to large grant making institutions, the Meridian Little Theatre’s family of foundation and corporate supporters are as diverse as the artistic mission they help to sustain. The Meridian Little Theatre depends on the support of corporations and individuals like you to fulfill its mission. Each year, MLT relies on the generosity of local and state corporations and organizations to significantly underwrite the costs of presenting outstanding live theatre while MLT continues to operate as one of the oldest, continuously performing community theatres in the south.

Meridian Little Theatre First Nighter’s is a great way to support MLT as well as enjoy the benefits of live theatre. First Nighter’s have the opportunity to contribute at various gift giving levels and enjoy an exciting opening night of theatre with an exclusive party along with the cast afterwards.

Each First Nighter will have their name prominently noted in each playbill under their desired sponsorship level. By joining First Nighters you receive two tickets (unless joining at a single patron or sponsor level).

 

MLT LADIES GUILD

We are like the Marines!  WANTED!  A few good women.  We need women who are season ticketholders and are interested in ensuring that the Meridian Little Theatre (MLT) continues to be one of the best, if not the best,  little theatres in the country.  The MLT Guild NEEDS you! 

We take great pride in being a part of the MLT, which is an asset to our community.  We are a ladies non-profit organization started in 1967, whose purpose is to aid, promote, and supplement all of the activities of the theatre.  

 We have three categories of membership:   MLT Guild Board, MLT Guild Auxiliary and MLT Regular.  A Board member must attend quarterly meetings and perform duties outlined in the Standing Rules (below).  An Auxiliary member performs the duties of a Board member, but is not required to attend meetings.  A Regular member pays annual dues and is not required any other participation.

If you love the theatre and want to be a part of helping it continue to be something we can be proud of, please consider joining us as a MLT Guild member. Our by-laws limit us to a maximum of 35 Board members, however we can have unlimited Auxiliary and Regular members.

If you have any questions, please contact Jeanna White at (601) 482-0889 or (601) 513-2191.
