[Genealib] Playbill collection looking for a home (off topic)

[Kathy Rippel]

Leslie-

You didn't explain exactly where the playbills come from, but that 
may seems obvious to you living in New York.

However, if they are for regional theater, stock companies, or tent 
shows, etc. there may be other locations such as


"The Theatre Museum of Repertoire Americana

Unique collection of memorabilia from early American popular 
entertainment. Priceless stage drops, artifacts, computer-catalogued 
library, scripts and music scores dating from the 1850s. Photographs, 
playbills, scrapbooks, costumes and scenery from touring companies 
that played in hundreds of opera houses, town halls and tent theaters."
