PUBLISHERS’ NOTES

As you read through the pages of tonight's publication, please take special note of the advertisers that have invested in an opportunity to speak directly to you about their products and services. As we move into 2009, reaching people like you in an environment like tonight's performance is incredibly important to our advertisers. Why?...because the people who frequent the arts tend to be the most sought after advertising demographic that businesses want to reach.

The performing arts venue setting provides a unique advertising experience, what we like to call "the last captured audience in print"... 10 minutes before the curtain goes up, there are no distractions, you can't channel surf, fast forward, or TIVO...everyone is reading their magazine...just look around the room.

It's more important than ever to make sure that advertising dollars are being spent wisely. So, for tonight's advertisers we say "Thank You!"

If your company is not currently advertising, and you would like to learn more about how to reach our audience, please call us at 373-5557.

Thank you for coming tonight and enjoy the show,

Gary & Robin Glover
