Concerts and Plays, 1990-1991
Scope and Contents
The collection contains records for Wired Women Dance, Inc. dating from 1984 to 1999. The records are divided into two series: Administrative and Events. The Administrative Series is arranged alphabetically by topic/type of document and dates from 1983 to 1999. The Events Series is arranged alphabetically by topic and dates from 1984 to 1999. The Administrative Series contains business records such as non-profit registration with the state of Missouri, correspondence, mailings and newsletters, and documents related to grants from the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis. There is one list of Wired Women board members dated circa 1999. The correspondence includes several thank you letters for donations and services. There are letters of support for Wired Women as it sought grants. The Events Series contains lists of artists, concerts and plays produced, and dances put on by Wired Women supplied by Mary Carpenter. The files on artists are arranged alphabetically by the first name of the artist. The artists list corresponds to newsclippings; press releases; in a few instances, contracts with the artists; and also balance sheets for performances which reveal expenses and income, or deficits. There is a co-promotion agreement with Contemporary Productions, Inc. for the 1995 Kate Clinton performance (f.15). In 1989, the Del Rubio Triplets corresponded with Wired Women (f.3) and there is a copy of the schedule for their performance which includes tasks such as transporting the artists and the stage crew’s timetable (f.12). Carpenter created two comprehensive chronological event lists providing dates, locations, and publicity materials inventories. One list chronicles concerts and plays (53 events) and the other records dances (164 events). The lists number the events chronologically and Carpenter wrote these numbers on the flyers, programs, and posters in the folders. Publicity materials are not present for every event on the lists. In a few instances, the lists note publicity materials that are not in the collection. Several of the flyers have a space saying, “put your magnet here,” which refers to magnets distributed by Wired Women. Tickets were not included on the lists but have been added to the other publicity items. Two balance sheets for unidentified events complete the series.
