PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT)

PRINTED AUSTRALIANA

JANUARY 2019

James Cassius Williamson was an American actor who immigrated to Australia in the 1870s. Along with

business partners, such as William Musgrove, his theatre company became one of the most dominant in

colonial Australia. After his death in 1913 the company, now named J.C. Williamson Ltd. continued under

the direction of George Tallis and the Tait brothers (who remained involved in the company until the 1970s).

J.C. Williamson continued to be one of the biggest theatre companies in Australia throughout the first three

quarters of the 20th century. J.C. Williamson held the license for theatres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane,

Adelaide and New Zealand (at times more than one theatre in each city). In 1976 the company closed, but

the name was licensed until the mid 1980s.

This list includes theatre productions held in J.C. Williamson theatres, as well as those produced by J.C.

Williamson and performed in other theatres under venue hire arrangements.

The list also includes libretti for overseas pantomime productions collected by J.C. Williamson for their

corporate archive.

CONTENT

Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures,

leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance

staged by the J.C. Williamson company. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a

piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure.

Please note that the list also includes programs for some films, as well as programs for overseas productions

of plays collected by J.C. Williamson for their corporate archive.

The list is based on imperfect holdings and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings for these artists are

filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the PROMPT collection.

ACCESS

The J.C. Williamson PROMPT files may be accessed through the Library’s Special Collections Reading

Room by eCallslip request: http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn3666467.
