Annual Sponsor Spotlight: The Social Birdy

At the Branson Regional Arts Council, we are fortunate to have businesses and families throughout our community who recognize the importance of supporting the arts. We are proud to welcome The Social Birdy as a Directors Level Sponsor with a generous $1,000 contribution to BRAC.

Located at 1250 Branson Hills Parkway in Branson, The Social Birdy’s sponsorship comes with an especially meaningful connection to BRAC. The Martin family made the contribution on behalf of The Social Birdy, extending their support of the arts beyond sponsorship and into our productions.

The Martin family has also been part of the BRAC stage, with three members of the family recently appearing in our production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Their involvement is a wonderful example of the many ways individuals, families, and local businesses can become part of the arts community, whether performing on stage, supporting from behind the scenes, or helping provide the financial resources that make our programs possible.

Support from annual sponsors like The Social Birdy helps BRAC continue bringing theatrical productions, arts opportunities, and creative experiences to our community. These partnerships strengthen our ability to provide a place where local artists, performers, volunteers, and audiences can come together and experience the arts.

We are incredibly grateful to The Social Birdy and the Martin family for their generous support and for choosing to invest in the mission of the Branson Regional Arts Council.

To learn more about The Social Birdy, visit The Social Birdy website or call 417-208-2500.
