Abstract

Scope and Contents of the Materials

This collection has materials from 1950 through 2006. The collection includes programs and fliers for both student and professional productions and theater festivals at the Spingold Theater Center. In addition, there are public relations materials such as official public service announcements, newsletters, invitations and subscription fliers.

Administrative Information

Access Restrictions: Access to the collection is in accordance with the policies of the Robert D. Farber University Archives & Special Collections Department, Brandeis University. Please contact the department for more information.

Use Restrictions: Requests to reproduce or publish material from the collection should be directed to the Robert D. Farber University Archives & Special Collections Department, Brandeis University.

Appraisal Information:

Materials previously in this collection have been moved to the Theater Arts Department collection. Materials from the Dreitzer Gallery are in the Poses Institute of Fine Arts Collection. Some "News from Spingold Theater" announcements are in the Media Relations Collection.

From hindsight, theater programs seem better suited to the Department of Theater Arts Collection and perhaps these should be moved- 2/11/11.
