FAQ

Who reads OnStage Colorado?

Theatregoers across the state — subscribers, season ticket holders and the people who decide what to see this weekend. Our readers skew heavily toward regular attendance rather than casual browsing.

How many weeks should we advertise?

Most productions run their ads for the two weeks before opening and through the run itself. Packages are built for shows running eight weeks or less; tell us your dates and we'll suggest a schedule.

What ad sizes do you accept?

300x250 for in-post and sidebar placements, and 728x90 for homepage and newsletter leaderboards. JPG or PNG. Send us artwork or we'll build it for you.

When is payment due?

Invoices go out when your run begins and are due on receipt. Longer or season-length buys can be split — just ask.

What payments do you accept?

Credit card, ACH or check. Invoices are sent through Zoho and can be paid online.
