Eye and Ear Theater Archive 1979-1996 (Bulk )

The Eye and Ear Theater Archive reflects the activities of the Eye and Ear Theater Company between its founding in 1979 and the 1996. The bulk of the collection dates from between 1980 and 1988. The organization sought to encourage artistic collaboration by producing plays written by poets using sets and costumes designed by visual artists, and its archive is composed largely of correspondence, clippings from newspapers and periodicals, and the company's general administrative and financial records. A slightly smaller quantity of the archive reflects the company's theater productions, including scripts, promotional materials, and photographs of the performances, art, and individuals involved.
