showbill
Performance announcement placard
A showbill is a poster or placard advertising a theatrical performance, circus, or other entertainment.
The term dates from an era when such announcements were printed on large sheets and displayed publicly: Showbills plastered the walls announcing the traveling troupe's arrival.
Now largely replaced by simply "poster" or "flyer."
