INTAR Theatre Records include the organizational records of New York-based INTAR Theatre, one of the oldest Hispanic theater companies in the United States. The collection contains scripts, musical scores, correspondence, financial records, photographs, audiovisual materials, posters, programs, clippings, and other materials related to INTAR Theatre productions from its founding in 1966 to 2004. The collection also includes the records of INTAR's Latin American Gallery.
Series 1 includes scripts by Iberoamerican and Hispanic playwrights that were collected by INTAR. While several of these scripts were produced by INTAR through its various theater activities, many of them were kept on file for possible production, readings, or other activities. The literary manager at INTAR maintained this collection of scripts in alphabetical order by the author’s last name, an organizational scheme that is preserved here. Included in this series is the index card file that the literary manager created and used to manage these scripts. The scripts files often include original typescripts as well as photocopies and various drafts of works. While many of the scripts in this series are original works, others are translations or adaptations carried out by Latino writers. Translations and adaptations are filed under the name of the author of the original work, noting the name of the translator or adapter.
