Town & Gown Players Production History
|
Florence compiled the first version of this list a few years ago. I've kept it up to date through the 2005-6 season. Many thanks to John for sorting out a few discrepancies and supplying some titles and to Chip for correcting the 1978-79 season opener. The list is based on T&G archives and personal clip files. We've checked spellings wherever we could. If you spot an error, please send an email to me by clicking on "Get in touch" in the pane at right. August 5, 2005: A thorough examination of our archives, now housed at the University of Georgia Libraries, has yielded a number of corrections. At this point the list is probably as good as it's ever going to be. |
Note: This page just lists fifty-odd seasons' worth of titles. If you need a source for a script, here is a big collection of URLs for publishers and rights houses, to say nothing of a script search engine. |
Seasons generally run September to August. Click a decade in the list below to navigate through the history.
(OS) identifies an original script premiered at Town & Gown.
