Summer Theatre Companies

The Summer Theatre Companies series contains the papers of Tommy Brent in his role as producer and manager of Theater-By-The-Sea from 1967-88. Several folders contain material relating to Brent's productions at the Garde Theatre in New London, CT, in the fall of 1981, which ran the same shows produced at the Theatre-By-The-Sea that summer.

The majority of the records in the series consist of information about the cast and crew for each summer's company, including records detailing the application, auditioning, and hiring process. Also contained in the series are records relating to the assistantship program for junior company members. Members of the Junior Company would work at the theatre for a small stipend, helping to build sets or playing small parts in the productions in order to gain experience in a theatre.

The series contains applications, contracts, correspondence, resumes, publicity photographs, news clippings, payroll data, memoranda, notes (some inserted into the papers by Tommy Brent when he reviewed the papers in 2004 and 2005), travel arrangements, and staff and cast lists.

The records are arranged chronologically by year, with the folders for each year arranged alphabetically by subject.
