Digital Playbill Advertising Rates
We are creating out playbills digitally now. The following production is available for playbill ads:
- We are thrilled to offer you full color
- The ads will link to the sponsor’s website on the flipbook version
- The ads will also link to the sponsor’s website on the pdf downloadable playbill
- Once in the theatre, there will be a QR code on auditorium notices to view the mobile friendly version of the playbill; although we do not have the ads listed in this version due to visually being unable to view the ad that small, we will link the sponsor logos to the sponsor’s website
