Programme Notes
Very little is held in archive regarding the 1964 summer season at Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre. This includes a lack of a complete schedule for the season. A poster advertising the first half of the season with a note "These plays will given again during the season. Full details to be announced later." is the only surviving reference to the latter half of the season. It is not even known the precise date the season closed. The date here is inferred from previous schedules.
