Advertise in our 2012-13 Season Playbill

Dear Advertising Friends,

Shakespeare & Company's Artistic Director Tony Simotes has lined up one of the most ambitious, exhilarating, and revolutionary performance seasons to date! We invite you to celebrate our 35th Anniversary Season by joining us as an Advertising Sponsor in our Season Playbill.

The Season Playbill is an excellent way to promote your business and support one of the most exciting arts organizations in the Berkshires. This season we join forces with a bevy of artists from the stage and screen, including award-winning actors Olympia Dukakis and John Douglas Thompson, who have helped cultivate, expand, and enrich our mission over the past three decades.

• PERFORMANCES RUN YEAR-ROUND: The Season Playbill continues to be distributed throughout the entire winter and spring season, from May 2012 through March 2013.

• A FANTASTIC MARKETING TOOL: The Season Playbill will be seen by 50,000-plus patrons expected to visit Shakespeare & Company in 2012-13.

• INCREDIBLE VALUE: The Season Playbill with its competitive rates, is also a gorgeous full-color magazine-style book that truly sets the industry standard. Ad spaces are filling up, so reserve your ad today!

• LONG SHELF LIFE: The Season Playbill is a keepsake that patrons take home, browse through at leisure, and use as a reference guide when planning their visits throughout the year.

• WIDE-REACHING: Our audiences travel not just from across Berkshire County, but also from Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and around the world to visit Shakespeare & Company!

• PERKS: Season Playbill advertisers receive complimentary tickets! Use the tickets yourself, give them to clients, friends, and employees, or even use them as incentives for your customers. We also recommend your business to our patrons with every ticket order and most importantly, mention our advertisers during our pre-show speeches, every day!

PLUS, you and your guests are invited to enjoy our ever-popular Business Friends Wine and Cheese Party. Great food, great fun and a free, private performance of one of our shows—on us! This is an unparalleled networking opportunity and, according to some folks, the unofficial start to our jubilant summer season.

Thank you for supporting another banner year at Shakespeare & Company. With all this exciting momentum, we hope you will consider coming back on board, or joining us for the first time as a 35th Anniversary Season Playbill advertiser.
