The Department of Communication Arts encompasses the areas of Theater, Dance, Speech, Theatre, and Radio Television Film. Of course the department has not existed since 1917, but the Drama and Dance areas have been active since then. The collection consists of programs, publications, and correspondence.
Oversized posters are available for some items.
The Barter Players of the State Theater of Virginia, Abingdon, Virginia, performed here from 1947 to 1950. Abingdon, Virginia, was Dr. Frank Reade s hometown. A 1936 Valdosta Little Theater Guild program shows that Ms. Sawyer was the Director and productions were held at Emory Junior College. Publications, such as brochures and departmental announcements are included and Dance programs from GSWC to the present. The publications, including the Jeckyll Musical Theater Program, are not nearly as complete as the Theater Programs.
