About My Playbills Playbills defined - for the purpose of this listing will refer not only to branded Playbill, but also to any equivalent publication that lists information about a particular performance. I'll try my best to make sure the proper publisher is referenced in the description, I won't remove all references to Playbill for those that are from other publishers - Showbill, StageBill, and the like. Most people use the term playbill as a generic reference regardless of the publisher. Please refer to the photo attached for clarification on what you will receive.
