Theatre Library Association was born on June 23, 1937 during a round table discussion organized by George Freedley, Curator of the Theatre Collection at the New York Public Library. The proceedings were documented in a written transcript.
Seventy five years later, the occasion was commemorated in an abridged reading of this transcript as part of TLA’s annual Awards Ceremony and Anniversary Gala celebration on October 12, 2012. Take a look at the original transcript, and the script of the Gala reading.
