programs Performing Arts Programs and Ephemera (PROMPT)
Australian Collection Development
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 productions of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas held in J. C. Williamson
theatres, as well as those produced by J. C. Williamson and performed in other theatres
under venue hire arrangements.
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.
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 Petherick
Reading Room by eCallslip request: http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn3666430.
Arrangement
The sole arrangement of this finding aid is chronological based on the start date of each
production.
All dates are based on evidence in the programs or ephemera, or have been confirmed by
accessing newspaper articles and advertisements through Trove.
