Renamed Sewickley theater continues familiar programming, expands opportunities

The feature highlighted the Theater’s name change to The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center, and focused on naming rights, with a photo of Carolina, Daria and Matt. Carolina was quoted: “This name change also marks a juncture of growth for the theater. We are just shy of our sixth birthday, Feb. 17. We added to our name the words cultural center to reflect this increased service to the region, this additional programming that we have offered and aim to continue growing. We offer cultural opportunities ranging from music, dance, live theater, exhibits, speaker series, festivals, community conversations and book signings.

“We regularly partner with artists who are emerging and those at the top of their fields. We often welcome science and technical experts and serve as a hub to connect them with the public.”

Regarding sponsorships, Carolina was quoted:
“Naming sponsorships for nonprofits are avenues for major gifts. We have honored our donors from plaques on the seats with their names to wall plaques to numerous ways recognizing them. … (A naming sponsorship) is not a contractual transaction. It’s a gift. It’s an honor that we give a major donor. We don’t like to comment on the amount of gifts out of respect for the donors. It’s their prerogative to divulge how much they gave.”
