Biographical Sketch
The Theatre program at Texas Tech began in 1925, as part of the Speech
Division. The first official production was
The Youngest performed
May 4, 1928, in the school gym. Over the years the program has grown and
expanded. In 1964 the University Theatre was built and in 1986 the addition of
the laboratory theatre gave Tech its present Theatre facilities. In the Summer
of 1967 the Theatre expanded its regular season to include a yearly Summer
Repertory Theatre. Currently the students who participate in the Rep Theatre
can get class credit, then follow the Theatre to Angel Fire, NM for paid
theatre experience. It is now part of the Department of Theatre and Dance.
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of Texas Tech University Theatre brochures,
play programs, 2 oversized scrapbooks, show schedules, and various news
clippings. Also included are three videos with scenes from the 1998 Summer
Repertory, 19 negatives and 409 prints.
The files are arranged in alphabetical order. The photographs have
been transferred to the photographs division and are arranged in alphabetical
order as well. The videos were transferred to Audio/Visual department.
