Advertise

Our season is changing!

As we adapt our shows, programming, and community engagement for the global pandemic, we're also changing the way we offer advertising opportunities.

What’s in a playbill? Near West Theatre’s playbill includes a director’s letter, show information, cast names and biographies, upcoming events, donor opportunities, and advertisements. Everyone who attends a show receives a playbill, and most are kept as a souvenir long after the show has closed.
