Why Advertise With South Valley Civic Theatre?

South Valley Civic Theatre (SVCT) offers a variety of productions to ensure 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” type 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 five shows during which you can promote your business – choose one, a combination, or all five.

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 both Morgan Hill and Gilroy.

Sponsorship Opportunities at the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse

$1,200 per show

A sponsor’s logo is placed on all posters, direct mail (2,500 postcards), bulk email (typically 3 emails per show to 4,200 unique email addresses), and program covers.

This type of advertising is more “institutional” in nature, promoting the sponsor as a supporter of community theater. It has the greatest reach of all advertising opportunities as it reaches all SVCT subscribers – over 3000 – in addition to the patrons who see the show.

Sponsorship Opportunities at Limelight by SVCT in Gilroy

Please contact Robin Bezanson, Limelight Managing Director, at Limelight@SVCT.org to discuss sponsorship opportunities. (Print promotion of these shows will vary and we can work out plans together.)
