Series Description

 

Series I: Administrative Records, 1973-1996

Physical Description: Boxes 1-6

Scope and Content Note

Series I includes three subseries housed in six archival boxes. The first subseries, Administrative and Acting Staff, consists of biographical information on the administrative staff, producers, and actors associated with the theater, and other related administrative files. Of particular interest are the folders on Frank Chin and his relationship with the AATC. Board of Directors, 1974-1992, includes correspondence and meeting minutes of the board. It is a rich source of information on the history of AATC and Asian American theater in general. So is the third subseries, By-Laws and Other Historical Documents, 1973-1992. It contains the earliest documents from the AATC, including the by-laws.
 

Series II. Business and Financial Records, 1974-1992

Physical Description: Boxes 6-10

Scope and Content Note

This series includes budgets, aggregate box office records, annual tax returns, and funding from local government sources.
 

Series III. Correspondence, 1974-1989

Physical Description: box 11

Scope and Content Note

Series III contains general correspondence to and from the AATC. Included are letters to and from the City of San Francisco, various media organizations, board members and various others. Of special interest in the General Correspondence folder (box 11, folder 7) is an "Artistic Director's Statement" written by Lane Nishikawa (n.d.). Most other AATC correspondence records are integrated with files on the same subjects in other series in the collection, such as Production Files.
 

Series IV. Grants, 1975-1992

Physical Description: boxes 12-15

Scope and Content Note

This series includes grant applications, related reports, and evaluations. It is also a valuable source for information on the history of the AATC. Many of the included grant applications require the AATC to describe its successes and failures, which gives the researcher snapshots of the development of the organization at various points when it sought funding. Particularly valuable in this regard are the NEA files which contain several summaries of the history and development of the AATC.
 

Series V: Production Files, 1974-1997

Physical Description: boxes 16-27

Scope and Content Note

This series is divided into two subseries. The first subseries, General Production Files, 1979-1997, contains records related to several productions or to production seasons. The second subseries, Individual Productions, is the largest and perhaps most useful group of files in the collection. It contains documents related to the production of almost all the AATC plays over the years. These documents include playbills, flyers, press releases, reviews, box office records, newspaper and magazine clippings, and occasionally director's prompt books (marked-up scripts). Most of the photographs related to the productions are found in Series X. Visual and Audio Materials, 1971-1994. See the related Annotated Catalog to Productions and Scripts for additional information regarding particular productions. The catalog is available online at: http://www.library.ucsb.edu/speccoll/aatc1.html
 

Series VI: Publicity, Fundraising, and Special Events, 1976-1992

Physical Description: boxes 27-29

Scope and Content Note

Series VI includes AATC brochures, general press releases, clippings, documents related to various fundraisers and special events such as receptions, movies, and fairs at, or hosted by, the AATC.
 

Series VII: Scripts, 1971-1993

Physical Description: boxes 30-35

Scope and Content Note

Series VII contains almost a full run of the scripts of AATC plays over the years. Most of these scripts correspond to the individual production files in Series V, but there are a few cases where we may have scripts but not production files or vice versa. See the related Annotated Catalog to Productions and Scripts for additional information regarding particular productions. The catalog is available online at: http://www.library.ucsb.edu/speccoll/aatc1.html
 

Series VIII. Subject Files

Physical Description: boxes 36-40

Scope and Content Note

Series VIII contains mostly files that AATC kept as sources for information or reference.
 

Series IX. Training Programs and Workshops

Physical Description: boxes 40-41

Scope and Content Note

Series IX contains files on the various training programs and workshops on acting, directing, and script-writing sponsored by the AATC, usually during the summer.
 

Series X. Visual and Audio Materials

Physical Description: boxes 41-45

Scope and Content Note

Series X contains six subseries. The Audio Recordings subseries consists of three boxes of cassettes of audio recordings. These are primarily sound clips used in AATC productions. They are loosely arranged according to the production in which they were used. The several photography subseries contain prints, negatives or slides of scenes from the various AATC productions or activities at AATC. Video recordings contain mostly productions at AATC, not always complete. Video recordings are currently in original format. Copies in other formats for research use are available upon request at a set fee.
 

Series XI. Oversize

Physical Description: boxes 46-50

Scope and Content Note

Series XI contains oversized materials, including small and large promotional posters, oversized photographs, and artifacts. The series is divided across five boxes to accommodate the various sizes of these material
