The Auburn University Theatre Collection, part of the Auburn University Digital Library, includes just under two hundred items documenting theater productions at Auburn from 1914 - 2007. The earliest item is a 5-page typescript titled, "Information About Dramatic Productions Given at Auburn," that lists titles and dates of plays produced in the 1910s, 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. The most recent item is a water color painting of the intended set design for a Midsummer Night's Dream, in 2007, by A. Lynn Lockrow. In between, visitors will find programs, newspaper clippings, photographs, and more paintings. Sorting displayed items by title reveals the repeat performances, such as Blithe Spirit, staged in 1945 and 1986; The Crucible in 1955 and 2001; or Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum in 1968 and 2003.
