Corporate sponsorship is very important to the Canadian Improv Games and to the new Waterloo Regional Tournament.  The Regional Director looks forward to working with representatives of your company to develop a unique, imaginative, and mutually beneficial sponsorship package.  We are very open to new ideas, and as this is our first year, there are many opportunities that will not come again, such as having a trophy in your company's name.   We invite you to look through our executive summary and consider our sponsorship opportunities.

The Tournament:
 The celebrated Canadian Improv Games (in existence for over 20 years) are setting up a competition in the Waterloo Region for the first time this year.  High school students from all across our area of southern Ontario will be offered a chance to build confidence, develop their theatrical abilities, and collaborate with other young actors as a part of the Waterloo Regional Tournament, which will take place in the early Spring of 2001.  Teams of students will compete to produce high-quality, spontaneous theatrical scenes. The teams' play will be judged by members of the local theatre community, and the most successful team will go the National Arts Centre in Ottawa to compete against schools from Vancouver, St. John's, and everywhere in between.

Regional Director:
 Jeremy Taylor, Drama student at the University of Waterloo and member of the 1999 national championship team.

Audience:
 The Waterloo Regional Improv Games is in contact with approximately 100 schools in Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Guelph, London, Hamilton, and surrounding areas.  120 students will be competing, and the audience will be comprised mainly of their peers (14-18 years old) and their families, who represent a large range of professions.  There will also be many attendees from the local theatre community, as well as university-aged volunteers.

Sponsorship Opportunities:
 Sponsorship will vary depending on the relationship we are able to establish.  In return for your support you will receive promotional opportunities (posters, brochures, website), media recognition (press releases, media and print advertisements), name/logo recognition (programs, theatre entrance, onstage prior to performance and/or during intermission), and the opportunity to come and watch talented young actors at their spontaneous best!

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or ideas.
