The records of the Ypsilanti Greek Theater (0.5 linear feet and 3 volumes) range in dates from 1963 to 1967. The bulk of the information covers only the years 1965-1967 and provides minimal information from 1963 and 1964. Really the only materials that cover the earlier years of the organization are the scrapbooks.

The collection consists mainly of the papers of former president of the organization, Mrs. Clara Owens. Included are administrative records, photographs, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, and printed materials. The papers have been divided into five series: Personal Records, Clara Owens; Administrative; and Publicity and Other Related Materials.

Personal Records, Clara Owens, 1965-1966

The Personal Records, Clara Owens series includes some comparative information about other theaters, a list of staff and patrons, and Mrs. Owens' office papers which are composed of organizational bylaws, building plans, administrative notes to herself, and several narratives written to explain the mission of the Ypsilanti Greek Theater, its staff, and its long-term plans. Much of this latter material appears to have been for her own reference and is not meant to suggest a complete view of the workings of the organization. It does however give a very good idea of the intention and philosophy of the founding members of the organization.
