Probably a package of those cards with the playbill covers and credits that they sold. I think they are for the 1978 season. Do they still sell those? They are a bit smaller than playing cards and came in a plastic bag.

Yup. Playbill cards are still made for each season.

Gwen Verdon's 1956 Tony Award for DAMN YANKEES that her daughter Nicole (Fosse) gave me as a gift several years ago after her mother's death.

Cool. Thanks for that Brody. Haven't looked for them in years so I wasn't sure. Just looked at the ones I have and they are from 1980-81.

Somewhere around here I have a program for "A Trip To Chinatown". I used to have "The Black Crook" but I sold it. The oldest souvenir I have is probably "Showboat" (original cast) or "The Three Musketeers" with Denis King.

I WISH I had THIS program, of which there are only one or two copies in existence.

But I do have THIS, which is both the opening night of "Funny Face" with Fred and Adele Astaire AND the grand opening of the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon).
