Question about getting a Playbill from a current show

why not walk by the theatre after the show and pick up one of the hundreds that careless people drop on the ground?

---

Can I just stop by the box office and ask for one?

That's always worked for me, in case you don't find one on the ground.

quizking- Why did you take 31 Playbills? That is totally obnoxious. No one needs to have 31 Playbills from the same performance.

Yeah, 31 makes you look like a douche.

There are these places called recycling plants...

I must be saying the wrong thing, because every time I've asked at the box office for a Playbill, they've turned me down. What do you guys say?

quizking, your story reminds me of someone I know at work who, at the end of a catered lunch buffet, took about 25 sandwich rolls -- basically all the leftover bread. Then she said later, "What am I going to do with all these rolls? I don't even like them!"

I have 31 AMERICAN IDIOT Playbills from when I saw it last night. (My parents and I each agreed to grab "a few". However, "a few" from everyone really adds up). I'd be happy to do trade or we could work something out.

And yes, picking up Playbills on the street is awesome. Last night I got Phantom, Memphis, BBAJ, and A LIFE IN THE THEATRE (signed by T.R Knight that someone had dropped)



PEOPLE DONT BE MEAN.....I WOULD TAKE A BOX OF PLAYBILLS IF I HAD A CHANCE.
Save those. They'll be worth something.
Good job on that signed pkaybl!

He's probably just a kid and doesn't know any better. (I won't say anything bad about his parents)

From an environmental standpoint, taking that many Playbills may increase the theater's demand for more Playbills (you're not the only one who takes large quantities of Playbills, but you're a big contributor), therefore wasting more paper and creating more waste. So that's a big no no. Just don't do it next time. and learn to share. Listen to your elders.
