Our vibrant production graphics are designed as standalone pieces that could command attention on posters, flyers, and digital platforms, and collectively, as part of a larger season campaign that reinforces the Segal Centre’s reputation as the premiere destination for English theatre in Montreal.

For an energetic colour palette and bold typography to compelling imagery, every element of the 2024-2025 season was thoughtfully crafted to capture attention and spark curiosity.

Teaser text-based posters were created for each play with a tagline that offers a hint about each production. Released prior to the season launch, the teaser posters serve as intriguing previews to pique curiosity. Following the launch, they will continue to be used throughout the season for advertising purposes as they seamlessly integrate with the production graphics to engage a broader audience.

Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue: On Stage is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery.
