Up for sale is a rare, original vintage 1945 multi-panel theater program and promotional brochure from the historic Cambridge Summer Theatre, operated out of Brattle Hall in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This specific program dates to the weeks of July 10-21, 1945, and highlights John Huntington\'s production of \"Alice in Wonderland\" (An Enchantment With Music). The production stars famed concert soprano Margaret Speaks and operatic singer Emile Renan, featuring a unique script adaptation by Frances Pole and music by John Charles Sacco.
The program includes full cast listings, production staff notes, and a prominent back cover advertisement for the upcoming week\'s production of \"The Spider\" starring classic Hollywood star Victor Jory. The inner panels are packed with charming WWII-era local Cambridge business advertisements, including The Bella Vista Restaurant, Oxford Grille, and Hotel Continental.
Rarity Notes: Mid-1940s regional theater ephemera from the Cambridge/Harvard Square area is tough to track down. This piece has exceptional crossover appeal for collectors of vintage Alice in Wonderland memorabilia, WWII-era stage theater history, or local Massachusetts cultural ephemera.
Condition: Complete multi-panel fold-out program. Shows light handling wear, age-appropriate paper toning, and minor crisp storage folds. Please view the high-resolution images closely to evaluate precise condition. Sold as-is.
