Last year, Roundabout was awarded a generous grant from the Leon Levy Foundation to establish a permanent archive. The Foundation’s support has enabled us to take on the valuable work of preserving Roundabout’s rich history. One year into the project, Roundabout’s archives are steadily growing. Research into artistic collaborators and their work is ongoing but now it’s time to ask you, our audience, for help.

If you have Roundabout-related materials, we’d love to hear from you. In particular, many of our past playbills exist as reproductions only, specifically the productions that fall within the years 1966-1995. We hope that many of you have copies you would be willing to donate.

Roundabout’s archives have the potential to be a world-class resource for off-Broadway and Broadway production materials including but not limited to set design renderings and sketches, costumes and costume renderings, lighting design plans, sound design notes, production scripts, photographic stills, and marketing materials. We thank you for adding to our archives and look forward to sharing our findings with you in the months and years to come.
