Advertising Programs
PROGRAM ADS
Programs are distributed to each member of the audience for all performances of our 5 main stage shows. Each main stage production has 13-17 performances. Ads can be purchased for one show, but a discount is given for purchasing ads for an entire season (buy 4, get 1 free!). Program pages are 5 ½ x 8 ½ inches with a slight border and printed in black and white or color. Prices start as low as $75 for one play. See the matrix below or download our contract for more information.
TICKET STUB ADS
Your ad (2.25"wide x 3.75" high) on all printed tickets for a show. This is a great way to provide an offer, and track how effective this marketing is! $600 for a season! ONLY 3 AVAILABLE SPOTS.
FOR RESTAURANTS ONLY
Many of our patrons eat out before or after our shows, and are often looking for new places to eat (particularly those from out of town). In addition to advertising in our program we offer this way to bring our audience to your tables: your logo, name, address and phone with a link to your website on our website, as well as in our marketing emails (with an email list of over 2000): $100 per show/ $400 per season (or $50/200 with a program ad purchase of any size).

The 39 Steps
Patrick Barlow
March 15, 2024 - April 14, 2024
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, dozens of characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of four), an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance!
Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea
Nathan Alan Davis
May 17, 2024 - June 7, 2024
Eighteen-year-old Dontrell Jones the Third decides that it is his duty and destiny to venture into the Atlantic Ocean in search of an ancestor lost during the Middle Passage. But his family is not at all ready to abandon its prized son to the waters of a mysterious and haunting past. Blending poetry, humor, wordplay, and ritual, Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea is a present-day hero’s quest exploring the lengths and depths we must go to redeem history’s wrongs.
