all my single ladies sponsorship proposal

Summary

We are grateful for your interest in supporting the Pittsburgh presentation of playwright John Ruffin’s latest hit

inspirational stage play, “All My Single Ladies" to be produced January 20 and 21, 2011 at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial

Hall in Pittsburgh PA. “All My Single Ladies” is a powerful and inspirational musical stage play based on the past and

present relationships between men and women. “All My Single Ladies” deals with the issues of love, lust, redemption

and how far people will actually go in the name of love. The production stars Shirley Murdock (R&B and gospel singer),

Darrin Dewitt Henson (Showtime’s Soul Food, Stomp The Yard), Tony Grant (Tyler Perry’s The Marriage Counselor),

Trisha Mann (JD Lawrence’s The Cleanup Woman), DeWayne Woods (Gospel Recording Artist), Chris Bolton (David

Talbert’s Mr. Right Now) and Richard Gallion (John Ruffin’s Love Me Or Leave Me and The Ideal Husband). “All My Single

Ladies” is a musical stage play with a very strong message. With plenty foot-stomping, hand-clapping and loads of

laughs, “All My Single Ladies” will take the audience on an emotional roller coaster that will leave them breathless.

This proposal provides you with pertinent information about the presentation’s goals, why it’s beneficial for you to

partner with us, and who will be impacted by the generosity of your company. A portion of proceeds will go to the

American Diabetes Association, and we would like to raise at least $15,000 worth of proceeds on their behalf. To

achieve this lofty but attainable goal, we need the financial support of generous individuals and organizations who

would like to pair their brand with this huge exposure opportunity. Your sponsorship will help aid us in paying for

massive production cost and, in return, provide your company with valuable advertisement exposure to over 200,000

potential customers via the internet, radio, and print.

Sponsors are the lifeblood that will help us bring “All My Single Ladies” to Pittsburgh provoking thought, inspiring the

uninspired and impacting change in the lives of the viewers. Each of you, by offering your financial support, can make an

eternal impact on our youth, their families and community as well as support the battle against Diabetes which is a

leading health issue among the African American community. Reap the bountiful benefits of being a giver. We know that

when sponsors give, a part of their hearts go with the gift as well!

You can accomplish this partnership with us by investing in one of our Corporate Sponsorship Packages. We thank each

of you for your generosity and look forward to partnering with you on this and future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Chauncey Roseberry

About the Production

Regina Channel had been living with her boyfriend Eric for five years, waiting for the day he would ask her to marry him.

Regina, who has tolerated Eric’s past tirades, decides one day she can’t take it any longer and moves out. Now five years

later, Regina apparently has herself all together. She has a great job, working at WKIT-FM hosting her own radio talk

show called “All My Single Ladies,” a nice condo living with her sister Tiffany and seemingly a balanced life.

After attending her “ugly” cousin’s wedding, Ms. Freda Channel, Regina’s mother, puts the squeeze on Regina to find a

mate and get married. Unbeknownst to Freda, Frazier Roberts, Regina’s co-worker at the radio station who also helped

her find the job, finds himself falling in love with Regina. Will Regina only see him as a friend? Especially after Eric

returns to the scene? Have the stakes been raised to win over the heart of Regina?

Time has passed, now, Eric wants Regina back and Regina wants Eric to love her as much as she thinks she loves him.

Will it happen? Will Regina fall for potential new love? Will Regina’s addiction for Eric’s love outweigh their rocky past?

One man she wants, the other one she needs...the drama unfolds.
