Support the Elgin Theatre Guild

We've introduced a new "Share the Spotlight: Show Sponsors" to cross-promote local business and organizations in our community!

The Elgin Theatre Guild (ETG), your community theatre, is entering its 58th season with a series of great plays and concerts to enrich the lives of the citizens of St. Thomas and surrounding area. The Elgin Theatre Guild is completely volunteer based, applying our talent and skills for the sheer love of the theatrical arts. As I am sure you can imagine, it takes a great deal of commitment by our members to operate a building such as the Princess Avenue Playhouse, which is historically designated and an example of the work of renowned Canadian architect Neil R. Darrach and a landmark within the community.

You can help us in our goals of offering quality community theatre by purchasing ad space in our program or by sponsoring one of shows. We can seat 120 patrons per show which means that there is the potential for your business ad to be seen by 3,840 plus possible customers. If you choose to sponsor a show, the potential increases as your business name will appear on all of our advertising too!

No matter which level you choose, the Elgin Theatre Guild appreciates your support of local community theatre and look forward to speaking with you and assisting in advertising with us. Thank you for your consideration and support.
