Advertise with Us
Another great way to support our work and invest in the growth of your company is advertising in our playbills as a show sponsor or a season sponsor (summer show, benefit concert, a Christmas Carol, and mainstage spring show). Our audience of theater-goers spans the metro-west Boston area.
Ad specs (prices for one show):
- Quarter page / Business card (1 ¾” high X 4 ¾” wide) $55
- Half page (3 ½” high X 4 ¾” wide) $95
- Full Page (7 ¾” high X 4 ¾” wide) $150
- Inside cover (full page): Front $225 / Back $225
- Outside back cover in color (full page): $275
Ads must conform to sizes specified above (the playbill uses ½ inch margins.) Computer files are preferred, but clean black & white, camera-ready art or copy is acceptable. Email for more information about placing an ad: playbill@sudburysavoyards.org
Ad Swaps
We also encourage ad swaps with other community theater groups in the Boston area. Advertise in our playbill in exchange for placing our show ads in your playbill, and invest in the growth of arts in metro-Boston. Contact playbill@sudburysavoyards.org to discuss a swap.
Volunteer
The Sudbury Savoyards is an all volunteer organization! Don’t want to be on stage, but love theater? Volunteering is a great way to get involved! (Of course you can do both – be on stage and volunteer!)
Standing Committees: Our committees determine the direction of the organization and help with special events. Current committees include:
- Communications (general communications, social media and website)
- Program (deciding on our shows and programs throughout the year)
- Development (the vital job of fundraising)
- Finance and Governance (how the company works)
- Information Management (making sure our information systems work)
- Locations (finding storage and word spaces for our shows and finding a permanent home for our company)
- 60th Anniversary Committee (ad hoc).
