Advertising with Company OnStage is a great way to reach a variety of new customers. By advertising in our performance programs, you associate your product, service or business with an established theater company with a 32-year history in the Houston community. Our audiences will see your ad alongside information about the play, actors, designers and the theater.

DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

A new program is printed for each of our five evening theater shows. Each show runs for 12 performances over 6 weekends. By placing an ad in our program, your business will reach approximately 500 families over a 6 week period. Company OnStage audience members are well educated and interested in the arts. They come from all over Houston and the surrounding areas to attend performances at our southwest Houston location.

Full-Season program ads give you the following benefits:

  1. The inner portions of our programs are printed so that your ad appears alongside our production notes, biographies and theater information read by all of our patrons prior to the beginning of a performance. Your advertisements are not inserts or flyers that can be easily discarded or ignored.

  2. A full-season ad appears in all five (5) of our programs throughout the season. Your ad will get repeat exposure and reach a larger audience.

  3. Because our programs are printed separately for each production, seasonal changes can be made to your ad at no additional charge. This enables a targeted, rather than generic marketing message.
