This is a detailed account of the Florida Federal Theatre's State-Wide Touring Company, starting with the formation of the Jacksonville Repertory Company in 1936, through its transformation into a touring theatre company in October, 1937, until the termination of the Federal Theatre Project in June, 1939. It includes complete descriptions of all the company productions during two full seasons "on the road"--Miles Gloriosus, The Chester and Everyman, Twelfth Night, She Stoops to Conquer, The Girl of the Golden West, One Sunday Afternoon, When Knighthood was in Flower, If Ye Break Faith, the outdoor Chester Cycle Nativity of 1938, The Rise of Silas Lapham, R.U.R., Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Remember the Day. Each production is discussed in terms of the play and its selection, the production itself, the tour itinerary and the public response. A summary and evaluation of the company's work is included, along with appendices listing complete tour itineraries and all known company personnel, extensive bibliography of primary sources, and sixty-four photographs. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 49-12, Section: A, page: 3553. / Major Professor: Richard Hornby. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1988.
