Sleuthing Series — Children’s Theatre

JCCC Archives presents the Sleuthing Series, where every Tuesday, we bring you an image from our past and ask you to help us find out more!

Children’s Theatre Group, May 1977. Instructor, Matt Campbell is to the left, standing.

What We Know

  • The early group was more improvisational, using their imagination and that of their audience.  They often traveled to local elementary schools.
  • “Children’s Theatre” or “Theatre for Children” was listed as a separate class through Fall 1988.
  • Children’s theatre groups from JCCC still visit local elementary schools.

What We Don’t Know

  • We were not able to identify any of the participating students.  Do you see yourself or anyone you know?  More photos are entered below.
  • We have posters for “Ming Lee and the Magic Tree,” from 1993, but no photos for the production.  Do you know of more Children’s Theatre productions between 1983 and 2001?  Do you have pictures?

If You Know More…

  • Contact  librarians: Anita Gordon Gilmore (agordong@jccc.edu, ext. 4369) or John Russell (jrussell@jccc.edu, ext. 3284).  You may also comment below!
