Listings for the Web Site and Magazine

All listings for shows, auditions and jobs are first posted to the Theatre Bay Area Web site by the Theatre Bay Area staff. The staff then downloads relevant listings from the site for the next issue of Theatre Bay Area magazine. That means, for example, if you send an audition or show listing by February 1, and the audition or show is in March, the listing will be on the site by the middle of February and will appear in the March issue. If you send that same listing after February 1, the listing will only appear on the site. We do post listings to the site all month long, so feel free to send listings at any time. Please allow us up to 10 business days to post a listing to the site. If you need it up earlier, just let us know when you’d like it posted; we can usually honor such requests. Otherwise, the above deadlines apply.

The magazine deadline for show, audition and job listings is the first business day of the month for the next month's issue. For example, February 1 for the March issue.

Show Listings

Show listings are a benefit of Theatre Bay Area company membership. That means the producing company must be a Theatre Bay Area member for the show to be listed. Theatre Bay Area individual members who are self-producing a show can have their show posted for a $10 fee. Nonmembers cannot post show listings with Theatre Bay Area. Click here for Theatre Bay Area membership information.

Please send us a full press release and/or a full calendar listing that also includes curtain days and times, ticket prices, box office number and a useful description.

If you are an individual member, your payment must accompany your listing. We do accept credit cards.

If the show is a world premiere and/or if you offer discounts for Theatre Bay Area members, please say so in the listing. We do flags shows that are world premieres or offer Theatre Bay Area discounts.

If you sell tickets through TIX Bay Area, please still send the magazine staff your show information.

Show listings on the site are viewable by anyone. You may search for your show listings. (We suggest just choosing your company from the pulldown box and clicking "search.")

You can have your audition listing on site as far in advance as you would like. Just let us know when you send in the listing.
