Why Advertise in CBT Playbills?

This season, for performances in the Clarence Brown Theatre, we will both print a hybrid playbill and create a digital playbill. Both will include your advertising. Our Lab Theatre productions will feature a digital playbill which also will include your advertising. All digital ads will link back to your website. For patrons wishing to view the playbill on their mobile once they are in the theatre, we will have a QR code which will direct them to the link.

In addition, all digital playbills will be included in each e-blast sent to more than 20,000 patrons promoting each production, and then sent as a link in each pre-performance email to patrons attending each production.
