Advertise with NCTS

Put your business on the big screen.

Reach an invested local audience at The Chapel and The Shoebox with simple, affordable on-screen advertising.

Big screen. Local audience.

No scrolling required.

Cinema advertising gives your business a rare thing: an uncluttered screen and an audience that is already paying attention.

NCTS audiences come to us for film, events and shared cultural experiences, and your advertising investment supports both your own visibility and a local charitable arts organization.

One slide-ad booking now reaches audiences across two NCTS spaces: The Chapel and The Shoebox Theatre.
