Greenspan, Sara, 1894-1968.

In a lengthy association that spanned some of the most significant years of operation for the Theatre Guild, Sara Greenspan (1894-1968), served as the prestigious production company's business manager. She began with the Guild as a secretary in 1925 and later functioned as its business manager for twenty years before retiring in 1963. Greenspan's positions with the Guild enabled her to interact with many of the most important composers, directors, performers, and playwrights in twentieth century American theater. Among the most delicate of her duties was the distribution of opening night tickets for productions put on by the Guild. Greenspan also was responsible for completing many of the administrative tasks involved with running the Theatre Guild-American Theatre Society Subscription Service, which handled national touring productions. Shortly before her retirement, she appeared as an extra in The Old Lady Shows Her Medals (1963), the final episode in the Theatre Guild's television anthology series, The United States Steel Hour . Greenspan, who was born in New York City, attended Washington Irving High School and was married to pharmacist Meyer Levy.
