Rome: Comune di Roma 1979. Vintage poster for an Italian staging of the 1974 groundbreaking American experimental theatre production. Staged in Rome at the Teatro Alberico circa 1979.<br /> <br /> Founded in 1947 in New York by Julian Beck and Judith Malina The Living Theatre is the oldest active experimental theater group in the United States. In the fifties and sixties the company became an epicenter for revolutionary culture performing both original and repertory works.<br /> <br /> "Seven Meditations" was largely written in response to the imprisonment of several members of the company under the Medici dictatorship in Brazil in 1971 drawing on their experiences of suppression and torture in the Brazilian prison system. The show addressed seven different types of actions relationships or statements governed by power including sexuality capitalism private property and law enforcement and attempted to begin a dialogue with audience members regarding ways to move forward from these dynamics. <br /> <br /> As with many of the group's performances "Seven Meditations" proved controversial and even courted obscenity charges largely due to a section of the show depicting a simulated torture scene-as shown in the poster on offer.<br /> <br /> 39 x 55 inches.

[THEATRE -- RACISM & MINSTREL SHOWS]. ERICKSON, CL (Manager). C L
The show that is different coming soon! J.W. Johnson’s Old Reliable Virginia Minstrels. . . horizontal bars contortion acts aerial acts wire walkers jugglers comedians greatest dancers that ever lived musical comedy all the way from Old Virginia. Dual-sided advertising broadside.
Erie PA: Erie Litho & Printing Co. March 17 1923. Large double atlas folio dual-sided broadside printed on newsprint sized 9.25 x 42 in. photo & woodcut engraving illustrations recto & verso toning to paper some chipping & edgewear paper repairs to closed tears still a G- copy. First edition thus of this advertising broadside for Erickson’s “J.W. Johnson’s Old Reliable Virginia Minstrels World’s best colored show. . . “ which touts their supposed 15 year history and appear to have either been reformed from the “Alabama Minstrels†show which played throughout the West and Midwest from 1905-1914 or simply taken over some of their acts. The contortionist fire king Hi Henry Hunt who appears in this broadside regularly performed with the “Alabama Minstrels†from 1905-1913. The silver voiced tenor A.J. McFarland and Grace Arniot Royal Entertainer depicted on the broadside also appear to have been African-American rather than black face performers. The name appears to have been drawn from the 19th-Century original “Virginia Minstrels†or the “Melodious Ethiopian Band†which featured Billy Whitlokc Dick Pelham Frank Brower and Dan Emmett performing in New York’s Bowery Amphitheater in 1843 and launched the minstrelsy form of entertainment. Emmett is perhaps best remembered as the author of “Dixie†which ironically would become the Confederate States unofficial anthem. Assorted versions dating 1920-1924 with different content & sizing appear in 6 libraries Harvard DLC 3 versions Middle Tenn. State Lib. of VA; See: Dr. Karl Koenig The History & Music of the Minstrels Rue Basin Source for Historical Jazz 2024. Erie Litho & Printing Co., unknown

First edition of this very scarce sales promotional catalogue for the Empire Producing Co. which partnered with Rotary Clubs Fire Departments Public Schools and many other non-profit organizations from California to Texas up to Chicago for fundraising theatre productions. Pitched as a way to motivate organization membership advertise to the community and helping solve the “juvenile delinquency problems in every town by giving the youngsters something to do†Empire organized community entertainment such as Uncle Ezry’s Hayloft Jamboree. They fielded reps in every territory provided sets scripts entertainers directors seed money and advertising and would use the local talent to augment post-World War II America’s enthusiasm for country music. They typically targeted smaller towns and supposedly were generating from $ 500.00-$ 1400.00 per production in 1949. The typescript sheets by Mr. Cole show that although his quotas for the July 1945-1946 year were $ 500000 he only succeeded in contracting 61 shows in Texas Southern and Midwest towns which actually generated about $ 175000 of which Empire would have received half.
