Since 2018, I've maintained a directory of digital humanities projects focusing on the performing arts as a public resource for the field. What's new? Which are your favorite projects?

The #musichall managers named in this intriguing letter were very familiar names to J.W. Cragg, with Pullan being included in the name of a son born whilst the family were playing at his hall! #TheatreHistory

It’s easy to think of archives holding records from the distant past. But the Ransom Center already has an annotated script for the concert presentation of “Chess” with #DarrenCriss & #LenaHall from… Monday. That’s right! Theatre history less than a week old! Many thanks to award-winning lighting designer & mensch Kevin Adams for adding his latest work to his papers https://www.hrc.utexas.edu/research/guides/MusicalTheatre

Many congrats to #playwright #AdrienneKennedy whose “The Ohio State Murders” opened last night as her long-awaited, overdue #Broadway debut. Her archive at the #RansomCenter reveals her complex process which often starts with images that she cuts and pastes into a form which makes sense to her. She then adapts those images into narrative prose, and then adapts the narrative prose into dramatic prose. https://norman.hrc.utexas.edu/fasearch/findingAid.cfm?eadid=00067 #theatre #theatrehistory

The Young Indiana Jones episode set in Dublin is mostly remembered for featuring the Easter Rising - but it also does a decent job of portraying the Irish theatrical scene at the time - Music Halls, The Abbey, Yeats and O'Casey

The program for Tony Pastor’s 14th Street Theatre on Dec 4, 1899 included a showing of films by the American Vitagraph company, a musical pug dog named Doc, Hurd the Conjuror, and Pastor himself singing new songs. https://norman.hrc.utexas.edu/BioFile/index.cfm #theatre #theatrehistory #vaudeville #otd #todayinhistory #filmhistory #history #museum #archives #library

This afternoon I will be taking part in a podcast about theatre ancestors. So it seems an appropriate time to post this old blog about offstage theatre ancestors - https://www.abrahamadcock.com/offstage-ancestors-the-theatre-ancestors-you-never-knew-about/ #Geneadons #Genealogy #TheatreHistory

Sometimes you need to depend on the kindness of strangers. #TennesseeWilliams career radically changed when he received a $1,000 Rockefeller scholarship in 1939. Continued small grants early in his career enabled Williams to write plays like #TheGlassMenagerie
This check stub for one of the scholarship payments can be found in the Tennessee Williams Collection at the Harry Ransom Center: https://www.hrc.utexas.edu/research/guides/TennesseeWilliams

On Nov. 21, 1963, the #LordChamberlain ‘s office requested additional changes to #EdwardAlbee ’s controversial play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” in this letter to producer Donald Albery. The play opened several months later on Feb. 6, 1964 at the Piccadilly Theatre in the #WestEnd with Uta Hagen & Arthur Hill. | From Albery’s Papers at the Harry Ransom Center: https://www.hrc.utexas.edu/research/guides/StageProducersManagersandAgents #TheatreHistory #Letters #London #OTD #TodayInHistory

What was it like for your ancestors to attend a theatre in the 18th century? Here I cover the rowdy atmosphere of manners, celebrity, colour, special effects, and perhaps the infrequent event of seeing themselves in a mirror. #Geneadons #TheatreHistory #Genealogy https://www.abrahamadcock.com/manners-mirrors-and-magic-ancestors-in-the-theatrical-space/
