Background

Scope and content:

Collection largely consists of ephemera that documents performing arts and theater in Washington, D.C. Items include programs, flyers, and ticket stubs. Some of the items are signed.

Biographical / historical:

Following World War II, Washington, D.C. gradually acquired a vibrant theatre and performing arts scene, due in large part to the population growth as the federal government expanded. In particular the opening of John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the early 1970s signaled the great importance of performing arts for the citizens of the Washington, D.C. metro area.
