		Playbills are listed alphabetically -- note that "The," "A," "An," and so on are included in determining the alphabetical position of the playbill (in other words, "A Winter's Tale" is listed in the As instead of the Ws.)
		The performance information will not be a transcript of the playbill, but you can look at a larger version of the playbill and read it for yourself (which I heartily recommend you do; the asides in the playbills and the language used is just a joy to read.)

		A playbill is a broadside (a single sheet printed only on one side) issued by a theatre for a given performance on a certain date, containing information identifying the plays and other pieces and the performers and others concerned, along with other information useful or interesting to the audience.
		Playbills were normally printed and issued on the day of performance and made available in the theatre, though bills for benefits might be printed as much as ten days in advance to assist beneficiaries in attracting audiences and selling tickets.
		But playbills, to be playbills, do not have to say they are playbills; they simply are playbills, instantly recognizable as such.
