Playbill is a monthly U.S. magazine for theater fans. Most copies of Playbill are printed for specific stage productions and are given at the door as the show's program.
Playbill was first printed in 1884. The magazine is now used at nearly every Broadway theatre, as well as many Off-Broadway productions. Outside New York City, Playbill is used at theaters throughout the United States.
