This collection of records of the Washington State
University Theatre covers the years 1966-1981.
Collection materials are in English
The Department of Speech of Washington State University, established in 1923, has
produced numerous plays since 1925 as a function of that department. Maynard Lee
Daggy headed the Speech Department from its inception in 1923 until 1946 and
directed many of the earlier productions. Departmental theatrical finances,
publicity, and publications were the responsibility of the University Theatre office
located in Bryan Hall. In the early 1970s a new site for University Theatre
productions and the Department of Speech was constructed and subsequently named
Daggy Hall. Circa 1988-1989, theatre was moved from Speech and joined with the
Department of Music to create the School of Music and Theatre Arts. In 2008, Theatre
Arts and Dance were separated from Music, and in May of 2011 the Department of
Theatre and Dance closed as a result of budget cuts.
In addition to regular theatre productions, special production units including
Children's Theatre, Stage II Productions, Final Stage, The Black Ensemble, Pullman's
New Summer Palace, and Stage One have existed. With the exception of Summer Palace,
most of these appear to have been sporadic, and were occasionally short lived.
This collection of records of the Washington State University Theatre consist of two
series, Drama and Management, both containing similar materials, covering the years
1966-1981. Chiefly publicity materials related to specific dramatic productions,
such as advertisements, news clips and releases, and photographs. Some memoranda and
other office materials are included.
The records are kept in their original arrangement of two series. The Drama files
have been ordered alphabetically by the names of the productions. The Management
files are presented as an alphabetical subject file. In both cases the
alphabetization was added at the Libraries; originally no specific order was
used.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Copyright restrictions may apply.
