Applause Ad FAQs
Can I include a photo, image or pre-designed graphic of my ad?
YES! You can upload any graphics or pictures to be included in your ad (size allowing), or submit your complete pre-designed ad in a ready to print format! JPG, PNG, and PDF accepted. Photos are not available for Applause Notes.
Can my business or employer buy an ad?
YES! While they are not eligible to participate in our Applause Ad program, they can take advantage of our Corporate Sponsorship Advertising program offering multiple-sized Playbill ads, Playbill Covers, advertising on the TV Screens in most of our theatres, or mentions in all pre-show Curtain Speeches! For more information, businesses should email ads@ntpa.org.
So help me out with this … what should I say in an Applause Ad?
Your ad will be seen by the entire cast, the directors, and every patron (could be thousands!) that come to see the show.
Your Applause Ad should speak from the heart with encouragement and support for your favorite actor, cast or even Director. The ideal ads mention all three!
