If you're involved in a musical or play, you may be asked to write a biography (“bio”) about yourself for the show's playbill. A bio is a short summary that introduces you to the audience and, potentially, to industry professionals. Your bio should highlight your past working experiences, schooling, and information about your interests and life outside of the production. Keep your bio brief and to the point, and ask someone to proofread it once you’ve written it.
