Playbill is a
monthly U.S. magazine for
theatregoers. Although there is a
subscription issue available for
home delivery, most copies of
Playbill are printed for particular productions and distributed at the door. Each issue features
articles focusing on
artists, new
plays and
musicals or special
attractions. This "wraparound" section is the same for all Playbills at all venues each month. Within this wraparound, the
Playbill contains listings, photos and biographies of the
cast; biographies of authors, composers and production staff; a list of
scenes, as songs and their performers (for musicals); and a brief description of the setting for the particular show. It also lists the number of intermissions and information for the theatre housing the production.
