Playbill Advertising a Win-Win!
|
While our Playbills are a great keepsake for cast and parents alike, did you know they can also make CYT money? That's right! Each ad sold is credited to the production, which helps cover the costs of the production that ticket sales and production fees don't cover!
It's a great way for businesses to reach close to 2,000 patrons each production. So if you know of a business that might be interested in advertising, please feel free to reach out to them and ask! What's the worst that could happen?
|
|
KUDOS to CYT North who has brought in six (6!) new advertisers for
Best Christmas Pageant Ever! You ROCK!
|
|
When it comes to tickets, planning ahead is
always a good idea!
- You get a better pick of seats!
- You save $$! (online tickets - $11-$13, at the door - $15)
- No waiting in line! Print your tickets at home, or pull them up on your mobile device and you're in!
And, it really helps us start our productions on time! Thank you so much!
See you at the shows!

Prayer Focus: Peace
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18
There is more than one form of peace. There is peace:Harmony/Nonviolence and there is peace:Calm/Tranquility. One is internal and one is external and we are called to both.
God, We know that you ARE our peace and that You bring us peace. We want more of both. Father, help us to walk in the peace You have called us to and the peace You are. Amen.
