Printed Business Cards

The modern theater director competes with the ever expanding world of multi media. They must hire and direct actors, determine what plays to perform, promote the theater and meet with the press and board members. The play director’s business card must show the strength of the theater as well as the experience of the director.

Include both theater and personal contact information on the play director’s business card. Be sure to include the box office phone number as well as the main back stage contact number. The web site of the theater as well as the director’s cell phone number is a must. Any social networking sites that belong to the theater or the director should also be included on the front of the business card.

Use the reverse side of the play director’s business card to present the theater’s seasonal schedule. This can include the times of both matinee and evening performances, the cost of tickets and the dates and names of all plays and performances in the coming season. A fold over business card with this information on one side is perfect for theater goers to prop up on their desks next to the phone.

The choice to use the comedy tragedy masks as the clip art on your play director’s business card is a personal one. Although this is a traditional illustration associated with the theater many people view it as a little cliché. Other options are an image of a playbill, auditorium, opera glasses or scenes from the front of house.

Distribute the play director’s business card to prop suppliers, members of the press, members of the cast, members of the theater’s board as well as to audience members upon request. For many the play director is the heart of the theater and their business card should reflect this.
