Raise Your Profile: ADVERTISE with CENTERSTAGE

Did you know that the average CENTERSTAGE program is read by almost 20,000 of Maryland’s most active, curious, and educated patrons—most of whom visit us 3-6 times per season? 37% of our subscribers report that they save their program for future reference. How do we know? We asked! Here’s just some of what they say about our programs:

• “I really like that you have the history of the play, playwright, and general notes that help set the stage in the playbill."

• “Your programs are the best because they are uniquely prepared for each performance. I always enjoy learning about the playwright and the show.”

• “Excellent staff. Excellent performers. Very pleased with CENTERSTAGE experience: fabulous set designs, interesting e-mail and program notes.”

• “What do I like best? Atmosphere—closeness of the seating to the stage, [the] stage sets, and [the] playbill.”

Because the majority of subscribers visit us six times per season, the quality of frequency of impression is an excellent component to any marketing campaign. CENTERSTAGE patrons—simply via their ticket purchase—demonstrate their experiential nature; they value experiences that enhance their lives. And they understand that it’s important to support businesses that support the things they love.
