The Summer Theater program at Duke was created in 1972; its founding members included English Professor John Clum and Duke Players president Richard E. Cytowic. Beginning in 1973, the company put on regular performances throughout the summer, to much critical acclaim.
The collection includes programs, playbills, newspaper clippings, schedules, ticket order forms, posters, advertisements, flyers, pamphlets, box office reports, reviews, and notes related to the Summer Theater program. Other than one playbill from 1925, the materials date between 1973 and 1984. The 1925 playbill is from a presentation of Sheridan's "A School for Scandal," by the Coffer-Millar Players, performed for students of the Summer School at Duke University.
