The collection documents theatrical activity associated with State University Theatre and is composed of programs, posters, season brochures, schedules, newsletters, correspondence, and photographs related to plays, musicals, revues, one act productions, touring productions, and special events. Materials date primarily from the early 1930s through 2019, with some undated items. The collection reflects annual seasons, individual productions, student showcases, revue series such as Rabbit Rarities and Capers, touring one act performances, festival participation, and organizational activities including Alpha Psi Omega events. Production documentation spans a wide range of dramatic literature, musical theatre, classical works, contemporary plays, experimental theatre, and locally developed productions, illustrating curricular, extracurricular, and public performance activity over time.
This collection documents theatrical production and performance at the university, offering insight into the evolution of campus theatre programming, student and faculty involvement, repertoire selection, and public engagement. The materials support research into theatre education, performance history, student organizations, and cultural life at the institution and contribute to understanding regional and academic theatre development across the twentieth and early twenty first centuries.
