How Much Do Listings Cost?
Theatre Bay Area company members can post show, audition and job listings for free. Individual members can post audition and job listings for $10/listing/month, but they cannot use their membership on behalf of a nonmember company. Nonmembers can post audition and job listings for $20/listing/month. We invoice via PayPal.
How Do I Submit My Listing?
Email your listing to listings-at-theatrebayarea-dot-org. There is no online form for submitting listings.
Show Listings
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 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 flag 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.")
Audition Listings
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. The magazine runs audition listings for the current month and the following month. (The March issue has auditions in March and April.)
If your listing does not have a specific audition date, please let us know how long you want the listing to run.
Include: show; author(s); director; number of male and female roles along with age range of each; audition req's; union status; pay/no pay; audition date(s), times and location; callback date; rehearsal and performance dates; appointment/info phone number or e-mail and/or address to send headshots.
Audition listings on the site are posted in the members-only area.
Job Listings
Please let us know how long you want the job listing to run. Job listings on the site are posted in the members-only area.
Other Deadlines
Please note: The first business day of the month is the deadline for listings only! The rest of the magazine is usually finished by the first business day. See our Pitch Guidelines for information about our articles and features.
Photo Requirements
Digital photos must be 300 dpi jpegs or tiffs sized at least 4x6 inches, color or black and white. In the e-mail write the names of the people in the photo, the show, the company and the photographer.
We do accept old-fashioned hard-copy photos as well.
Send everything to:
**All staff e-mails are found @theatrebayarea.org. In an effort to slow the pace of virus e-mails that find addresses on web sites, we've broken the addresses up in this way.
