Take A Seat Campaign

Can you believer it? In 2026, our wonderful facility will turn 40 years old!

To insure that FSLT will comfortably accommodate our patrons for decades to come, we are planning an exciting refresh of our auditorium.

Beginning in December 2025, we will make numerous improvements including the installation of new carpet and theatre seats!

While most of our current seats are still comfortable, some are feeling their age and cannot be refurbished. Many of our new seats will be slightly wider and all will feature a quiet soft close. We know you will love the seats we chose!

How can you be part of the project? Just come on in and Take A Seat.

For only $250, you can name a seat, show your support for our theatre, or leave a lasting tribute to someone special. This is your chance to become an integral part of the fabric of our theatre — quite literally!

Your name and/or the name of your honoree will be engraved on a plaque affixed to one of 195 fixed seats. FAQs and naming details are provided below.

PLEASE CLICK HERE to name a seat online. NOTE: If you are naming more than one seat, please process each one separately so you can list how you want each nameplate to read. 

Alternately, mail your check and nameplate information to FSLT, PO Box 3752, Fort Smith, AR, 72913; call 479.783.2966 Ext. 4 to leave a message; or email fsltfunding@gmail.com.

And remember – when you Take A Seat, you’re more than a spectator to the magic of theatre; you’re playing a role in our history and insuring that FSLT will be well equipped to comfortably entertain our community for many years to come.

TAKE A SEAT CAMPAIGN FAQs

What is the cost to name a seat and how will my gift be recognized?

The cost of naming a seat is only $250.

As a seat sponsor, your name and/or the name of your honoree will be engraved on a plaque that will be affixed to the back of a new theatre seat.

Also, those who contribute to our Take A Seat Campaign will be listed on our website for years to come. Additional recognition including social media and printed materials is also planned.

Engraving is limited to two lines, 24 characters per line including spaces. Just let us know what you want to appear on each line. This is an opportunity to put your own name(s) on seats or dedicate a seat “In Honor Of” or “In Memory Of” someone special.

Your named plaque can be affixed to the seat of your choice – providing it is available and not already selected by another patron.

No. This campaign is a naming opportunity and does not include tickets or seat assignments for performances in the theatre.

Yes – please do! Just be sure that if you make your Take A Seat donation online, you process one seat at a time so that you can specify the wording for each engraved plaque. Alternately, call us at 479.783.2966 Extn. 4 or email fsltfunding@gmail.com and a volunteer will process your donation and collect your seat plaque details.

Giving to our Take A Seat Campaign is donating to the Fort Smith Little Theatre, a 501c-3 non-profit organization. Therefore, your donation is tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Please contact your tax advisor for further information.
