Lost Theatre History

surprisingly the internet doesn't have much in the way of records for live theatre that was happening outside of NYC. As a child I attended Valley Forge Music Fair in the summer, back in the 60s when it was still an actual tent. I can find no record of who the stars were I saw. I know I saw Patrice Munsel as Mame, and Bill Hayes in Camelot. Patrice Munsel had done other shows there, Kiss Me Kate perhaps? Does anyone have old playbills from Valley Forge? it appears the only way to get this info is from playbill collectors.

Also I was in London in 80 seeing tons of musicals, and becuz you had to pay extra for playbills, and I was a starving student, I have no idea what actors I was watching. Is there a source for this? I saw Sweeney, On the 20th Century, original cast of Amadeus, about 10 more.

I've seen that article and I'm afraid it skips over the yrs I attended. We did, however, stay at the Tally Ho next door for 1 week when we first moved to philly waiting for our house & furniture, and as a 5 yr old I spend every day by the pool w/ Ms. Munsel, which meant nothing to me at the time.

I remember her always being paged for the phone tho.
