! "Theater Program Index# $ Notes on Using this Index This index is arranged alphabetically, primarily by venue. However, some folders were already designated by performer, such the Louisville Male chorus, and have been left intact. There are also some programs with no date or venue that have been filed together, found at the end of this index. The bulk of the collection pertains to Louisville, however there are folders for other Kentucky cities and other states listed in this index. Some programs are in the form of a broadside and are kept in the Special Collections department. If your search for a program eludes you, it will be helpful for you to check with the Special Collections department.
