Postcard Distribution Network
Postcard Distribution Network (PDN) is back!
The Theatre Bay Area Postcard Distribution Network (PDN) is an efficient and inexpensive way to get your company's postcards into the hands of eager theatregoers all over the Bay Area!
PDN is a network of over 50 established locations in San Francisco, the East Bay and the South Bay. Each location features an attractive postcard rack in a highly visible traffic area where performing arts services professionals can have their promotional postcards displayed, including numerous theatres and select information centers.
No more running from place to place trying to get enough coverage — we do the work for you!

Participating as a Display Location
We're always seeking more display locations to participate. Whether you are a theatre, café, or other location visited by theatre fans, we'd love to add you to the route. All you need is a display rack, table, or shelf and daytime availability during delivery dates.
Display locations get a discount code for their PDN purchase. Email Art@TheatreBayArea.org for more information.
