FAQ

What size is a theater program?

Most are 5.5 x 8.5 inches — a letter sheet folded in half. It's easy to hold, fits a pocket or purse, and is the size most audiences expect.

How many programs should I print?

A common approach is one program for every two seats across your full run, plus extras for cast, crew and sponsors. Our low minimums mean you can print close to your real need.

Can I sell ad space in my program?

Yes, and most groups do. Sponsor pages print in full color at no additional cost, and the ad revenue often covers the printing.

What page count do I need?

Saddle stitch pages come in multiples of 4. A typical program runs 8 to 20 pages including the cover.
