Leave A Legacy
Join The History
Name A Seat
Don’t miss the chance to become part of the legacy of Elizabethton’s historic Bonnie Kate Theater!
As the theater prepares for extensive renovations later this year, the Friends of the Bonnie Kate is offering a rare opportunity for individuals, organizations and businesses to name the 225 new seats that will be installed in the auditorium. You may choose to honor loved ones, commemorate a special occasion, or in the case of a business or organization, celebrate your place in the community.
The cost per seat will be $500 and will include a 1 1/2” x 3” engraved metal plate on the back of each seat with four lines, 20 characters per line, to include a name, phrase, date, special occasion of your choosing, or other wording, pending approval by the Friends of the Bonnie Kate. There will also be a special “seating chart” in the lobby of the theater, recognizing those who show their support, a listing in the re-opening season’s program, and an invitation to a special “Meet Your Seat” gala to be held when renovations are complete. Naming will be limited to 10 seats per individual, business or organization.
Seats will be named on a first-come, first-served basis and seat sponsorship is not a reservation of the seat itself. All seat sponsorships are tax deductible and proceeds in excess of seat cost and installation will help with other capital improvements at the Bonnie Kate Theater.
