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 consists of materials from plays and theatrical/dance productions
produced by the Washington State University School of Music and Theatre Arts. It
also contains materials related to a forthcoming school year, and printed news
articles about the discontinuation of the Department of Theatre and Dance.
Each play or theatrical/dance production is given its own folder, and may contain
some or all of the following: programs, posters, cast or production photographs,
budgetary summaries, review clippings, production notes, and promotional materials.
A few folders contain materials related not to a specific production but rather to a
forthcoming school year and these are identified as "Season program" and located at
the start of the appropriate school year. Similarly, the final folder in the
collection is printed news articles about the discontinuation of the Department of
Theatre and Dance.
Materials in this collection are organized chronologically.
This collection is open and available for research use.
