Patrons of the Arts

Supporting the theatre arts at Oakcrest.

The Patrons of the Arts program is an important part of sustaining Oakcrest’s theatre program. The generosity of our patrons helps make it possible for our students to take the stage, develop their talents, and bring meaningful, inspiring productions to life.

The program is open for support each semester through both our Middle School and Upper School productions. For each production, patrons can choose from sponsorship opportunities that offer a range of benefits, including priority seating on opening night, an invitation to a pre-show reception with fellow patrons, and opportunities to recognize a business or celebrate a cast or crew member with a “Shout Out” in the program.

Your support as a Patron of the Arts helps keep theatre a vibrant and meaningful part of the Oakcrest experience.

Patrons of the Arts Reception

Ernst Community Theatre

Our Upper School students will present Into the Woods on October 30–31, 2026. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s beloved musical weaves together familiar fairy tales into a witty and moving story about wishes, choices, and the unexpected consequences that follow. This year, our production will take place on Halloween, and we’re embracing the theme to deliver a spooky show.
