Johann Nestroy (December 7, 1801 - May 25, 1862) was a singer, actor and playwright in the popular Austrian tradition of the Biedermeier period and its immediate aftermath. He participated in the 1848 revolutions and his work reflects the new liberal spirit then spreading throughout Europe. Nestroy was born in Vienna, where he was a law student from 1817 to 1822, before abandoning his studies to become a singer. He joined the Theater am Kärntnertor, beginning with Sarastro in The Magic Flute on 24 August 1822. After a year of singing in Vienna, he went to Amsterdam where he appeared in baritone roles for two years at the local German Theatre. From 1825 to 1831 he accepted engagements to sing and act in Brünn, Graz, Pressburg, Klagenfurt, Vienna and Lemberg. He then returned to his native Vienna and started to write and continued to perform. Nestroy's career as a playwright was an immediate success: his 1833 play Der böse Geist Lumpazivagabundus was a major hit. He soon became a leading figure in Austrian culture and society. Nestroy succeeded Ferdinand Raimund as the leading actor-dramatist on the Volkstheater, the Viennese commercial stage or 'people's theatre'. Nestroy wrote nearly eighty comedies between the 1830s and the 1850s. He died in Graz, Austria.

Materials related to rehearsal and performance, including a published copy (Wien: J. B. Wallishausser, 1844), which has been annotated as a prompt-book; and 17 handwritten role books, for the following parts: Zangler; Marie; Weinberl; Christopherl; Kraps; Gertrude, 60-jährige Frau; Melchior; Sonders; Hupfer, Schneider; Frau Knorr; Frau von Fischer; Fräulein Blumenblatt; Philippine, Stubenmädchen; Lisette; ein Kutscher; Rab; and ein Kellner. (The published copy shows the following additional roles, some of which may have been omitted in performance: Brunninger, Kaufmann; ein Hausmeister; ein Wächter; and ein zweiter Kellner.) All of the items bear a stamp of the name and street address of Theodor Bloch, who ran a theater lending library in Philadelphia. The published copy also shows previous stamps (crossed out) of "Naumann & Bechstaedi / New York," and "Naumann & Rosenbaum / Theater-Agenten / New York." Names of actors and actresses are noted on the front of some of the role books. Most of the names are familiar from the casts of other German-language plays in Philadelphia and reflect a cast that would have performed around 1888. The same cast member names are noted next to the character list in the published copy. Four of the role books are stamped "Fred. Hassmann / Schauspieler," the actor who played Christopherl (possibly Hassmann wrote out those role books, which are all in the same hand, as well as 2 others that do not bear his stamp). See also a theater newspaper of Nov. 1878 advertising a performance of the play in Philadelphia (the role books do not, however, appear to relate to that earlier period).

Harvard Theatre Collection of figurines
Contains figurines, statuettes, and sculpted scenes relating to theatre and dance, particularly ballet. Numerous figurines specifically depict nineteenth century ballerinas, and further figurines relate to Shakespearean productions. Most of the figurines and sculptures relate to known actors and dancers, as well as known productions, though this is not always the case. The majority of the figurines appear to be from the nineteenth century, though there are some dated in the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Many are undated.
