| | | | Creator: | Wolpaw, Luci | | | | Dates: | 1958-1964 | | | | Abstract: | Luci Wolpaw (1906-1980) and her husband Harry were active in the Cleveland, Ohio, area's Jewish community and its theater throughout the mid-twentieth century. In 1949 Luci developed for the Drama Department of the Jewish Community Center the Suitcase Theatre, comprised of men and women who took rehearsed readings to evening meetings, and the Matinee Players, a women's group serving the same function for daytime programs. She and her husband contributed monies toward establishing the Luci and Harry Wolpaw Playwrighting Fund in 1966 to award a major prize to authors and give a full performance of works for five winners over five years. The requirements for the pieces were that they be unproduced and concern American Jews. The collection consists of correspondence, memorabilia, and a paper about the Wolpaw family written by Barbara Wolpaw Drossin. | | | | Call #: | MS 4226 | | | | Extent: | 0.10 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Wolpaw, Luci, 1906-1980. | Wolpaw family. | Theater -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Playwrighting. | Jewish theater -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Women in the theater -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Drama.
