Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Vern Adix papers (1900-1983) consist of stage designs, elevations, programs, news clippings, and personal notes about Adix's involvement with various plays throughout his theatrical career. Also included are five published textbooks and eighteen plays he adapted for children. Boxes 1-19 are arranged alphabetically according to the name of the play and the theatre in which it was performed. Boxes 20-28 include productions arranged chronologically according to where the performance occured. Boxes 29-31 are comprised of Adix's publications, as well as the plays he adapted for children's theatre. Materials of a miscellaneous nature can be found in box 32. The organization of this collection closely reflects the wishes of Adix, who spent a great deal of time arranging the material. Most folders contain a yellow sheet prepared by Adix, listing its contents. Also included is a listing of the artistic and technical staff for each play.

It should be noted that this collection is intended for use in correlation with the Vern Adix photograph collection (P0316). For this reason, each manuscript folder, with the exceptions of boxes 29-31 and the miscellaneous boxes, has a corresponding photograph folder. Because a manuscript for every play was not included in the collection, and in order to maintain a corresponding numbering system, some manuscript folders have been left empty.
