This fonds contains administrative records, material related to the theatre season, including playscripts, programs, posters, photographs, publicity releases, reviews, and correspondence, as well as resumes of actors, directors and technicians. The records for the seasons covering the period 1972 to 1978 and 1984 to 1986, however, are very sparse. Also included are records relating to other theatres and various agencies and organizations connected with the dramatic arts. Due to the large volume of material, records relating to the play Paper Wheat have been organized into a separate series.
