This is the fourth scrapbook in a set of five surrounding the plays and activities of the Garrett Players, this one focused on their 1971-1972 and 1972-1973 seasons. This book in particular holds a decent amount of biographical and basic information about the Garret Players that is not present in the other books in this collection. For example, it is noted that the original headquarters of the Players was 7 Hampshire Street in Methuen, and that they held free drama workshops at that building for children and adults even before their first season of plays. The plays in the two seasons detailed in this book include “Lion in Winter”, “Cactus Flower”, “Exit the Body” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf”, as well as almost a dozen others. These seasons, based on articles and schedules pasted into the book, seemed to be quite successful for the cast of Garret Players at the time. The 71’-72’ season was actually the 10th anniversary season for the Players, and they commemorated this by creating a dual memorial/celebratory program celebrating their 10th season as well as remembering one Donald West, the treasurer since the first season, who died during their 10th. This program is pasted on the very last page of the book.
