How to create Messages

The Messages section of the Marquee allows you to share important notes, reflections, and welcome messages with your audience—such as a Director’s Note, Dramaturgical Insight, or a Message from the Theatre. This guide walks you through how to add and format messages in Step 5 of the Marquee Builder.

Step 1: Accessing the Messages Section

In the Marquee Builder, go to Step 5: Messages. This is where you’ll enter and customize any written notes that appear within your digital playbill.

Step 2: Adding a Message

Message Title

Start by entering a Message Title. This title should reflect the nature of the message—for example:

• “A Note from the Director”
• “Dramaturg’s Insight”
• “Welcome from the Theatre”

This helps contextualize the message for readers.

Message Body

Enter the main content of your message into the text box provided.

• Use the formatting tools (bold, italic, alignment, etc.) to style your text for clarity and visual appeal.

Step 3: Adding an Image (Optional)

You can enhance your message by including an image:

1. Click the Image icon in the toolbar.
2. Click the Upload button to select a file (JPG, PNG, or WEBP).
3. Once added to the message body, you can resize and reposition the image to fit your layout.

Step 4: Adding Additional Messages (Optional)

If you’d like to include more than one message:

• Click the “Additional Messaging” button.
• This will reveal two additional message inputs, each with its own title and message field.

Step 5: Submitting and Editing

Once your messages are complete, click Submit to save them to your Marquee.

To make future edits:

• Go to the Components panel in the Marquee Database, where you can update or revise your submitted messages.
