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

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.
