| Collection 82 Playwrights Collection, 1955 [1970 - 1984] - 1986, n.d. 4 ft. |
|||||||||||||
| This is mainly a collection of unpublished one-act plays. Most were written for production in Lafayette, especially at the Eavesdrop Theatre which was located in the Red Dog Saloon [later The Corner] at the corner of General Mouton St. and Lamar St. They were also performed at the Louisiana Playwrights Theatre, The Red Garter, community theaters, and in small theaters in Virginia, New York City, London, and elsewhere. A few scripts are copies of unpublished or published plays from unidentified sources which must have been produced in Lafayette. Most of the plays were written by USL English Department faculty or students, including a few done as class assignments. Some were written by faculty in other USL departments [mainly history]. Occasionally there are cast listings or even director's notes on the typescript. Several of the copies in this collection were obviously used during rehearsals. Date of production, if given, is taken as date of authorship unless otherwise indicated. | |||||||||||||
| Scripts in this collection have been donated by John W. Fiero, Joe E. Riehl, Jr., and James H. Wilson. | |||||||||||||
