Marquee Message – The Theatre marquee has two sides with three (3) message lines on each side.  Each message line can accommodate sixteen (16) “alpha / numeric” characters (do not count spaces between words) for event advertising.  We do have commas ( , ) ampersands (&), quotation marks ("), hyphens (-) and question marks (?) for the text. The last line on each marquee side is typically used for the Day / Date / Time of your event.  Please email / FAX / telephone the Theatre with your marquee message at least two weeks prior to your event.

Event Flyers & Posters – The Theatre has space for Coming Event Flyers, Photos and Posters in the lobby and exterior front entrance areas.  The recommended flyer and/or photo size is 8 ½ X 11 and 11 X 17, portrait layout.  We can also accommodate a 24 “X 36”, landscape layout, for a customized event display (i.e. collage of photos / newsprint / flyers).  We will post-up your flyers, photos and/or posters as soon as we receive them, preferably one month prior to the Performance.  Do not post flyers on poles, or buildings, in the Carlsbad Village area.  However, most merchants will respond favorably when asked to display flyers in a designated “flyer area” at their businesses.

Event Marketing Support Services – The Theatre has a “Coming Events Email List” that is comprised of patrons who have expressed a desire to be notified of All Coming Events at the Theatre.  An email notice with a brief description of the particular coming event is sent out to our Coming Events Email List approximately one week prior to the Performance Date with a “hot link” to our web site for more specific information about the particular event.  There are approximately 800 patrons currently on our Coming Events Email List.

We also have approximately 28 Hospitality properties and 10 popular locations on our "Drop List” that are dropped event notice Flyer during the mid week prior to the particular event.  We typically post the public events on the internet (Yahoo and American Towns) and also submit brief calendar listings to the local newspapers.  All of the foregoing event notices are sent out by the Theatre on an “as time allows” basis. Duplicate notices to marketing media by the Lessee are encouraged.  It should be noted that, “The Theatre’s Email List, and Print Media Notices should always be considered as a secondary marketing effort to your performance’s primary marketing strategy.  As you are already know, the actual number of performance attendees is directly related to the success of your marketing strategy and personal marketing efforts. 

Video Presentations – The Theatre’s amenities include a Sony PX-31 LCD Projector and large (17 ft. X 40 ft.) screen for video (i.e. DVD, VHS, Digital Camcorder and PC) presentations. While the DVD and VHS recording equipment is identical to your home video system, the Digital Camcorder and PC recording equipment (digital cameras and personal computers) does vary with the particular brand names.   Our on-site inventory of audio / video cables will typically accommodate the foregoing recording equipment.  However, we do recommend that you bring to the Theatre all the particular audio / video cable attachments that came with your equipment when you bought it, as practical back up.  Specific power cords are a must.  Reliance on pack power is not recommended for audience presentations.  In summary, we strongly recommend that you allow time for an on-site preview of your particular video media presentation prior to your Performance date / time.  All VHS and DVD media should be previewed at least 24 hours prior to the Performance date.  Digital Camcorder and PC media should be previewed at least 72 hours prior to the Performance date.

In Conclusion, the Carlsbad Village Theatre is a privately owned unique historic building (1927) that was renovated in 2000.  It is a non-alcoholic venue.  We offer light refreshments.  Our goal is to provide a convenient multipurpose entertainment venue for the enjoyment of the North San Diego County Community.  Your efforts to respect the historic nature of the premises are appreciated.  Do not hesitate to call us; there are always additional questions, or items to coordinate.
