Promote your company to our audience with an advertisement in the Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival program. The Festival attracts a faithful and growing audience —many return each year.

The majority are mid-career or retired professionals who live and work in greater Hartford (the majority reside in West Hartford, Avon, Simsbury, and Farmington). We also attract many families with children and newcomers to the theater.

Our estimated audience for our 2025 Festival is more than 4,000 fans!

Additional Opportunity: Feature your company’s sales literature or product handouts at our Festival performances. You can even request to have a live 30-second commercial written and performed by the cast before performances.

Capital Classics is non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides high-quality classical theater to the greater Hartford community and jobs to CT-based performers, artists and technicians. 100% of your support goes to the production costs.
