A vanity ad is a small ad in a program that families buy to celebrate a student or show support for the production. Parents can include a short message like “Break a leg,” a congratulations, names, and sometimes a photo! . It’s not a business advertisement, it’s a personal shout-out, and the money raised helps fund the musical.
