Because Live Arts patrons are so proud of our theater, they take special note of the businesses that support us.
And because Live Arts patrons are such a special group– opinion leaders and trendsetters–businesses who advertise with us find their ad dollars have much greater impact than with other publications.
By advertising with Live Arts, you’ll be reaching out to your target audience. More than 22,000 people attend our shows each year, and an integral part of those nights is our high-quality playbill. These glossy, beautifully designed books are full of articles, interviews, and production info.
- 85% of our audience members have annual incomes over $20,000
- 50% have annual incomes over $50,000
- 80% are college graduates
- 50% describe their occupations as “executive” or “professional”
Our program features ads prominently throughout the booklet, providing great placement for all our advertisers! And our research shows that most patrons take their programs – and your ads – home instead of recycling them. By choosing a full-season advertising plan, you’ll be branding your business – our season subscribers will see your ad seven times a year.

Here’s what some of our advertising partners had to say:
“I have always been a supporter of the arts and originally took out an ad simply to support the Live Arts. To my pleasant surprise I found that I was not only supporting the Live Arts but received numerous new clients through my ad. I will continue to advertise in the future.”
-George Benford, Siips Wine and Champagne Bar, playbill advertiser
“By supporting Live Arts, we feel connected to the community and our customers. We know that our advertising is working and can see our investment put to good use in the wonderful programs and performances.”
-Jeanne Blake, The Ceiling and Floor Shop, Inc., playbill advertiser
“We’ve been, for the most part, quite lucky in our lives. Part of that luck has been our early and continued involvement with, and enjoyment of Live Arts. May our luck continue.”
-Donna and Sandy McAdams, volunteers, playbill advertiser, Daedalus Used Books
