The iconic yellow PLAYBILL heading is something that can always catch a theatergoers eye. Many theatre fans and artists hope they will one day find their name winin a cover page with that iconic heading. As the student who was often tasked to create and design the program for my high school’s musicals and plays, this resource would have been incredibly helpful as I was starting out. This online tool makes it unbelievably easy for beginners to create Playbills that look clean and official for their performances. This website, although I never used it, looks effortless and like it requires minimal technical computer skills to operate. I think it's really great that services like this are being offered so that schools and local theatre companies can have official looking publicity materials. Based on this article, I do not know exactly how much this service costs, and sadly I highly doubt it's affordable. This makes me wonder what services can be offered for free that have this same purpose and aid in program making.
