Background

Scope and content:

The Claire Kincannon theatre collection represents a lifetime and a career of theatre appreciation and attendance. Materials that comprise this collection track Kincannon's attendance at area performances in Ohio (1955-1982) and on Broadway (1955-2007), as well as her work as a theatre critic in Washington, D.C. (1971-2011).

The collection includes programs, press releases, photographs, and other outreach materials of various theatre productions. Also included in the collection are ticket stubs, invitations, schedules, and advertisements for certain productions. Some of the programs also contain the hand-written notes of Kincannon from when she worked as a critic; these notes provide unique insights into the job of a critic. There are also marketing releases for motion pictures, including photographs, press releases, and "behind the scenes" information.

Many of the programs are from the Kennedy Center, the National Theatre, Arena Stage, The Folger Theatre, Wolf Trap Farm Park, and other various theaters in the D.C. area. Also included in the collection are productions by the Kenley Players and Victory Theatre in Dayton, OH, among others in the area. The Broadway collection encompasses several theaters' productions.

The first series covers Kincannon's time as a critic in Washington, D.C., from 1971-2008. This series contains programs, press releases, photographs, and other behind the scenes and marketing information. The second series covers Kincannon's early interest in theatre while in the Ohio area (1955-1982). It contains mostly playbooks and programs from area performances. The third series is the collection of Broadway and London productions Kincannon attended from 1955-2007. This series consists of mostly playbills and programs. The fourth series is film-related materials from 1956-1992, consisting of souvenir books, magazines, and press packets relating to each film. The fifth series is audiovisual materials from 1983-1992, consisting of reel-to-reel audiotapes, audiotape cartridges, and videocassettes. Much of the material is from the Behind the Scenes with Claire Kincannon radio program. Behind the Scenes was a three-minute feature on the performing arts, and was available via the Public Radio Satellite System.

The first series covers Kincannon's time as a critic in Washington, D.C. from 1971-2008. This series contains programs, press releases, photographs, and other behind the scenes and marketing information.
