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.
Many terms historically used to describe individuals and communities with
disabilities are offensive and were used to dismiss, discount and dehumanize these
individuals and communities. Terms often focused on a perceived impairment and not
the person. MASC recognizes the harm caused by these terms. We retain the language
in this finding aid to document history and preserve context.
The collection consists of slides taken by the theater program to document plays
conducted at Washington State University. The first series comprising production
from the regular Department of Theatre and Dance productions, and the second series
consisting of slides from productions of Summer Palace, the summer theater series
run by the department.
The slides are organized in two series, each in chronological order.
This collection is open and available for research use.
