- Advertise in our printed and digital program – Our audiences are thoughtful and engaged community members – the ideal audience for YOUR business or message. Email Contact@OperaHouseLive.com to discuss opportunities.
- Sponsorships – Please let us know your interest in being a named sponsor of an upcoming play. Our sponsorship program is crucial to help close the gap between our expenses and ticket and advertisement revenue. Email or call the Opera House at 304-876-3704.
