Historical Note
In 1970 Arnold Wengrow became chairman of the drama department, his first production being She Stoops to Conquer, the following year. Originally performances were held in the Lipinsky Auditorium, but in 1977 these moved to the newly built Carol Belk Theatre, with Wengrow's production of A School for Scandal being the first performance in the new venue. In the early 1980's Tanglewood Children's Theatre, which had been founded in 1959, was incorporated into the UNCA program, providing a forum for much younger actors. In 1998, Arnold Wengrow retired from UNC Asheville.
Scope and Contents
This archive holds historically significant materials prepared, or received, by the drama department in connection with productions by the department. These materials include playbills, posters, box office reports, photographs, schedules, and correspondence. Productions by the Tanglewood Children's Theatre are incorporated.
