Think about what you would want to see in a playbill, if you were in the audience.

Actors' names and the roles they're playing, of course.

Also some highlights from each actor's career (favorite roles, most impressive roles, biggest theatres at which the plays have been mounted, prestigious co-stars or directors with whom each actor has worked, etc.), as well as perhaps where the actors have been training or studying their craft, other (non-acting) fun facts like hobbies or interests (anything that tells the audience about who these people are outside of acting), as well as acting-related items like singing skills or dancing ability.

As for the main list of credits, that's:
playwright
director
producer
each actor
accompanist (if you have one)
choreographer (if you have one)
stunts coordinator (if you have one)
technical director
stage manager
helpers of any kind (ushers, production assistants, etc.)

And anyone you'd want to thank for helping to bring the production to life!

Hope this helps! Have a good show!

a playbill has a LOT of stuff!!!!!!!

you usually have a brief intro about the play
also you include the authors and their stories
it has the director and a little about them
then there is the producers
then there is the stage manager and engineer
the rest really has the small things like stunt coordinator and stuff
then you have the dedications and other peole who helped outside of the work

here is a playbill format :)
