With the help of our partners at the Little Theatre of Winston-Salem we are excited to announce the addition of new materials related to the production and organizational history of the Little Theatre of Winston-Salem. Scrapbooks, posters, and minute books accompany production files in the latest batch of materials join the collection of playbills and posters already available on DigitalNC.

The 136 production files include contracts, playbills, photographs, stage planning, news clipping, and other records related to each production that Little Theatre of Winston-Salem put on during their annual performance season. Productions from the 1935-1936 inaugural season through the 1959-1960 season are illuminated in these organizational records that detail the logistics, practice, and resources that went into making each show a dazzling success.

As the Little Theatre of Winston-Salem celebrates its 90th production season and anniversary this year, these newly digitized records provide invaluable insight into not only the company history of the Little Theatre, but also the artistic history of the Winston-Salem community by the Little Theatre.

While their 90th production season has just wrapped up, the Little Theatre of Winston-Salem has already announced six major productions for their next performance season. Unfortunately the new season, which will open with Moriarty, doesn’t start until early September. Thankfully, we can keep ourselves occupied waiting for the next chapter of Little Theatre of Winston Salem’s next chapter by deep diving into the thousands of digital scans of materials from previous seasons.
