If you want your Playbill collection to feel like a Broadway marquee in your own home, a rotating “Now Playing” Playbill frame is the perfect display. Instead of hiding your Playbills away, this setup lets you swap in a new show whenever you like — so your display always feels fresh and exciting. It’s especially great for collectors who attend lots of shows or who want a stylish way to highlight their latest theater adventure.

1. Pick the Right Rotating Frame

For a “Now Playing” effect, you’ll need a frame that:

• Fits standard Playbill dimensions (9” x 12” for post-2016, 6.75” x 9” for older Playbills).

• Opens easily so you can swap out Playbills without damaging them.

• Has UV-protective acrylic or glass to prevent fading.
  
  

👉 Recommended products:

• Playbill Store “Now Playing” Frame (Exact Fit)

• Hinged Frame (Budget-Friendly Alternative)

• Changeable Kids Art Frame (for kids but works great in this context)
  
  

2. Style Your “Now Playing” Display

You can keep it simple or really lean into the theater theme. Consider:

• Adding a “Now Playing” placard above the frame (like a theater sign).

• Mounting a small marquee light box nearby for extra Broadway flair.

• Keeping a rotating schedule — swap the Playbill every month or after each show you attend.
  
  

👉 Pro Tip: Print a small date card to insert behind the Playbill with the show date and theater — like a personal archive tag.

3. Where to Showcase Your Frame

Because the “Now Playing” concept works best as a feature piece, pick a spot where it will stand out:

• Entryway wall – Welcome guests with your latest Broadway obsession.

• Home theater or media room – Perfect synergy with film & stage vibes.

• Living room wall – Make it part of your home décor.
  
  

For collectors with multiple frames, you can even create a mini Broadway wall and update them all together.

4. Protect Your Collection During Rotation

While rotating is fun, don’t forget about preservation:

• Store the rest of your Playbills in archival binders or boxes.

• Always handle Playbills with clean, dry hands when swapping them out.

• Avoid placing the frame in direct sunlight to prevent fading.

5. Make It Part of a Routine

Many collectors love building rituals around their “Now Playing” frame:

• After every show, swap the Playbill immediately and display it proudly.

• Rotate seasonally, so each year’s shows get a spotlight moment.

• Use the frame as a countdown — place in the Playbill for the next show you’re seeing to build anticipation.
  
  

A rotating “Now Playing” Playbill frame is more than just storage — it’s an ever-changing stage for your collection. With the right frame, a bit of creative styling, and a commitment to preservation, you can keep your display lively while protecting your Playbills for years to come.
