K-State Theatre offers unique ambassador opportunity to all faculty

Submitted by Blakely Bunning

The School of Music, Theatre, and Dance at K-State is seeking faculty ambassadors for the performing arts for its 2019-2020 season. If you are a fan of the performing arts, we would love your support promoting the performing arts in your classrooms and departments.

Here are the commitments required of a faculty ambassador for the performing arts:

  • Display posters and show cards in your classroom and office before each show — hand-delivered by the theatre marketing office students. 
  • Announce productions and events to your students and colleagues, in person and/or online.

The benefits as a faculty ambassador for the performing arts:

  • A season subscription — two complimentary opening night tickets — for every show in the season.
  • Ticket discounts for your students.
  • Show posters for your classroom.
  • Recognition in our programs.

Questions or to RSVP to this special opportunity, please email Jennifer Vellenga at vellenga@k-state.edu by Aug. 26.
