| Hi Dramedy, I did happen to check Ebay and it seems the prices vary from $2 to $10 per Playbill and much more if it's opening night or autographed. if I could make a little $, that'd be great. Otherwise, I'll donate or recycle them. I was going to try our local FB page to sell them and if that doesn't work, I could try Ebay. Though, the thought of mailing out one Playbill at a time for who knows how long, sort of fills me with dread ;o) Yes, it's a space issue. Thanks for the "gutting" idea, I'll consider that! |

| I tried selling them. There was mostly no interest except with rarities -- like the OB Chess. My biggest sale was for a program -- with ticket -- for the second preview performance of Rent at New York Theatre Workshop. I got $450. I thumb through them from time to time. I like seeing not only the show information but also the accompanying articles and ads. It's also fun to look through to see names that later became famous. I have one from the mid-70s from an OOB production that featured Bruce Willis. Also, Calista Flockhart in a version of La Ronde written my Warren Leight. Or the original New York production of Killer Joe at 50-seat space at 29th Street Rep, written, of course, by Tracy Letts. Or an early performance by Adam Driver at Rattlestick. He was bigger than the stage. Or Jude Law in Indiscretions which featured him giving a full nude frontal. The most interesting aspects of some of those old programs is to remember seeing some spectacular performances from people you never heard from again. Perhaps they were too fragile to deal with the realities of show business. Or they went into TV and I never saw them. Like once, a few years after that On the Town production that featured the oversized performance by Lea DeLaria ended asking someone: "Whatever happened to that skinny red-haired kid who had to wrestle with Lea DeLaria?" only to find out he became a TV star. Go know! |
