SERIES II	PLAYBILLS	DATES
1.25' (3 Boxes)		1951-1988

The series consists of playbills for Theatre-By-The-Sea productions from 1951-1957 (productions of Donald Wolin and Harold Schiff), 1958 (productions of J. Thornton Hall and Joseph R. Wishy), 1960-1962 (productions of John Holmes), and 1967-1988 (productions of Tommy Brent). Several playbills in the Wolin and Schiff and John Holmes folders are autographed by the stars of the productions. The folder for the 1981 season contains a playbill for a production by Brent at the Garde Theatre in New London, Connecticut. Several folders also contain handwritten notes by Brent indicating playbills missing from that season's productions, and a single folder at the end of the series contains Brent's notes on the organization of the playbills.

The playbills are arranged chronologically.
