Biography/History
The Department of Speech of Washington State University (previously State College of Washington), 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.
Scope and Content
Contains invoices and ticket-sales records for stage productions, as well as programs, posters, correspondence, and other papers of the Washington State University (previously State College of Washington) Theatre program. The records date from 1925 to 1965, but the bulk of the records date from 1935 to 1965. Each folder is labeled with the production name and production dates. A folder for undated material has been placed at the end of the collection.
Arrangement
The records are arranged chronologically by date of production, maintaining their original order.
