Title	Arsenic and Old Lace Program
Subject	Arts and Entertainment Theatrical productions
Place	Bowling Green (Ohio) Wood County (Ohio)
Description	This program for a production of Arsenic and Old Lace by the Black Swamp Players was printed in 1977. The eight-page program also includes a note from the theater company's president, Willard E. Misfeldt, acknowledging the dedication of cast members who spent long hours working on the production after severe weather and gas cutbacks caused it to be postponed. The program measures 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm). The theater company took its name from the historic association of the Bowling Green area with the Great Black Swamp that covered much of northwest Ohio until drained by farmers during the mid-nineteenth century. The name emphasizes the company's commitment to providing a theatrical outlet to the entire Bowling Green area, and to avoid confusion with the theater program of Bowling Green State University. At first plays were performed in schools--the junior high, Crim Street School and, most frequently, Kenwood School. The season usually consisted of three major productions with occasional one-acts, readings, and reviews performed on demand for various organizations. In 1976, the Black Swamp Players moved to the Veteran's Memorial Hall in the City Park in Bowling Green. During the 1975-1976 season, the Young People's Theater program for junior high school students was created. The program consisted of two phases--a year-long workshop capped with its own major production, and a six-to-eight week summer program.
