Help Bring 'Hello Dolly' To Madison

MADISON, NJ - In order to ease the financial burden of mounting the Madison High School spring musical, Blake Spence and Dan Malloy are asking that the Madison community consider sponsoring the show.

"Beyond putting on high quality productions, Madison High School takes pride in their
cutting-edge inclusive theatre and community outreach initiatives," the duo said in a release. "Our musical successfully incorporates regularly-abled and differently-abled students into all aspects of the production."

The release said they are actively looking for companies or individuals (local or otherwise) to sponsor the show and there there are various sponsorship levels, and in exchange for sponsorship, companies and individuals will receive special perks.

This year's show is the "Hello Dolly!" and is set to run March 5 through March 7 next spring.

"We anticipate holding a special sensory friendly performance to accommodate students and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders and our lobby display will transport audience members back in time to 'Main Street' at the turn of the century," the release said. "We also host an open dress rehearsal for Madison community members, with special invitations extended to the town’s senior adults and disabled adults. Our open dress rehearsal is presented in American Sign Language to accommodate deaf individuals, and tactile tours are provided prior to the show to accommodate visually impaired individuals."

In return for a donation, businesses will receive:

• complimentary tickets to the show
• special recognition in our program
• advertisement in the lobby and program

"We would sincerely appreciate it if you would consider making a donation and supporting the amazing work of over 100 of Madison’s most talented students," the release said.

Those interested can download the Sponsorship Form from the school website.
