Overview and metadata sections

Princeton Shakespeare Company.

The Princeton Shakespeare Company was founded in 1994 by student Davis McCallum '97 and English professor Thomas P. Roche. The organization's productions of the works of William Shakespeare are typically characterized by minimal outdoor sets and innovative costuming. Each year the company produces a show in the fall and the spring, as well as a special show for reunions weekend. All shows are entirely student produced, including the set designs and publicity.

Consists of clippings, photographs, flyers, press releases, programs and posters documenting the first years of the Princeton Shakespeare Company. Also included in the collection is a videotape of the company's fall 1998 production of Richard III.

For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
