The Band’s Visit Pride Playbill#1
Posted: 6/2/18 at 11:15pmJust looked on instagram and saw that The Band’s Visit hasn’t been giving out the rainbow Pride Playbills that are usually given out in June. Anyone know why?

Posted: 6/2/18 at 11:22pmChill. The theatre staff is probably just utilizing the regular Playbills from May before opening up the new batch for June.

Posted: 6/2/18 at 11:30pmI am chill, I simply asked a question about something I was wondering about. Thank you for your answer. It was very helpful, although the snarkiness wasn’t necessary.

Yeah, jeez. People on this board are so snippy for no reason.
But I assume he's right, they just had more of the normal playbills leftover before they open the new ones.

I don't know if any show has opened the Pride Playbills yet; Carousel didn't distribute them last night, and people I saw walking around 45th and 46th streets after the show all seemed to have the standard yellow-topped Playbills.
If worst comes to worst, OP, you could try going the SASE route? I don't think shows ask for BC/EFA donations for unsigned Playbills if you include the SASE and a short note asking for one!

Dear Evan Hansen didn't start giving out gaybills exactly on the first just like TBV, so I assume they'll start later.

I heard they were delivered to theaters on Friday.
Angels, Frozen, My Fair Lady, Boys in the Band are giving them out not sure about other shows.

Posted: 6/3/18 at 12:15amStaff don't "open" Playbills. They arrived bundled with string. The theater probably haxnt yet rexeived the new Playbills yet. Technically speaking, once the new month's shipment is received, they are required to use distribute those. The porters at the theaters are supposed to dump the "old" Playbills.

I got a Pride Playbill for Three Tall Women a little early on May 30th. I’m sure it just depends where they are in the batch.

Yes, I'm aware. I was using the term in a general sense. Thanks for the unnecessary clarification.

Posted: 6/3/18 at 1:31amAll shows have not received their shipment yet. I know one that at hasn't. If there are no major changes a show can just use stuffers for new cast members until the shipment arrives.

Is no one going to point out how much worse the Pride playbills look as a gradient? The clearly defined colors were so much better. Bad choice, Playbill.

I actually like it. Especially on the Angels In America and Mean Girls ones.

Lee Pace did post the Angels in America Pridebill on his Instagram story, but as of yesterday's two show day, Angels is still distributing yellow-header playbills. I asked the usher why -- she said that they hadn't gotten their shipment yet. Unclear how Lee got ahold of one, I guess.
