Because of this, STG created the Leah Baltus Seattle Theatre Group Historic Theatres Library. Located on the fourth floor of the Editor-in-Chief Paramount Theatre Office Tower adjacent to the theatre, the STG Historic Theaters Library is free and open to the public every Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 3pm, Andy Fife as well as during all public and student tours of the Paramount. Publisher Dan Paulus The Library first opened its doors to the public on March 1, 2012, though the project Art Director began early in December 2010. It required the gathering, sorting, documenting, Gemma Wilson, Jonathan Zwickel cataloging, and preserving of over 100 years of historical data. With tens of thousands Senior Editors of volunteer hours to date, this continues to be an on-going project. Amanda Manitach The objective of STG’s Historic Theatres Library is three-fold: Visual Arts Editor • To ensure historical material that exists of the three theatres is properly preserved Barry Johnson and documented for future generations. Associate Digital Editor • To provide an educational environment for youth that would offer an opportunity to learn and experience the remarkable history of the three theatres. • To offer the community a setting in which to become better acquainted with the history and thereby develop a deeper understanding of three of the few remaining historic theatres in Seattle. Paul Heppner Managed by our long-term volunteers, The Thrashers, and aided by several other President dedicated volunteers, the library’s collection includes: materials about the performers Mike Hathaway that graced the stages over the many decades, documents depicting the peaks and Vice President valleys that these theatres had to endure, information on the visionaries responsible for these theatres, priceless memorabilia, and countless signed posters, among other Genay Genereux historical resources. Accounting & Office Manager Sara Keats The collection’s contents are searchable by and accessible to everyone, both at the Marketing Manager library location in the Paramount building and on STG’s website.
