(In an effort to bring small business and corporations into arts production, PEP developed its sponsorship program to reflect a philosophy of partnership. PEP regards sponsors as business partners, whose goals and objectives are as important as its own. PEP continues to seek those businesses whose history, practices and philosophy are compatible with its own: artistic excellence, community, determination, inclusion, and fairness.)
