Seat donations are 100% tax-deductible. Please note that the dedication of a seat does not guarantee that specific seat assignment in our auditorium, and seat sponsors must still purchase tickets for any performance at Dodson. Specific seat dedication is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Of course, if your seat is available for a performance, we will always try our best to accommodate your request to sit there.

Support the future of the arts at Kilgore College by sponsoring a seat in the historic W.L. Dodson Auditorium. Opened in 1952, this special venue has long been a cultural cornerstone for East Texas, hosting everything from graduation ceremonies to the iconic Rangerette Revels. Now, as part of a major renovation project, Kilgore College is offering the community a chance to be part of its legacy. For $500, you can sponsor a seat on the ground level; for $300, a seat in the balcony. Your contribution will help fund much-needed updates to this beloved venue, ensuring it continues to serve students and audiences for generations to come. Each sponsored seat can be dedicated in honor or memory of someone special, making it a lasting tribute in a place filled with memories. For more information on how to sponsor a seat and support the Dodson Auditorium renovation, please contact Merlyn Holmes with the KC Foundation at (903) 988-7521.
