Why Advertise With South Valley Civic Theatre?

  • SVCT offers productions at two venues, the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse and SVCT’s Limelight Theater. This ensures that everyone has an opportunity to explore their talents: children, teens, and adults; singers and dancers; comedic and dramatic actors.

  • For you, the advertiser, the shows draw varying audiences allowing for both demographic focus and/or broad-brush advertising.

  • Like with all advertising, the more consistently our patrons see you, the more likely they are to seek you out when they need a product or service that you offer. With SVCT, you have seven shows during which you can promote your business – choose one, a combination, or all seven.

  • Unlike other advertising that is strictly self-serving, promoting your business through South Valley Civic Theatre also tells the community that you and your business support the arts, specifically performing arts, in Morgan Hill.
