Want to show your appreciation for the hard work and talent of your student? Do it with a shout-out ad in the show program. Shout-outs can be a few lines of simple text or a page with multiple photos or art—or anything in-between. Don't worry about the design--we will do it FOR YOU!
Students love the encouragement, and shout-outs provide critical funding that goes directly back into the Whitman Drama program.
Promote your business or congratulate a cast or crew member—while also supporting theater education at Whitman—with an ad in Whitman Drama’s show programs.
Program advertising is a smart way for your business to spread your message to an average of 3,000 members of the Whitman community per production and 9,000 annually. What’s more, you’ll be serving the important role of community partner for your local school.
Affordable rates start at just $30.98, and are even more cost-effective when you reserve your space for the season. Plus, we’ll design your ad if needed, at no additional cost!
One Acts: All in Due Time
May TBD
One Acts is a short scene festival, put on in May, entirely directed, written, and performed by students on the Whitman Stage! These scenes are usually around 10–30 minutes long and can be dramatic, comedic, or experimental. The festival is a chance for students to showcase their creativity, leadership, and acting skills, often featuring original scripts or well-known short plays. It’s a celebration of student talent both on and off the stage.
