1956

Many productions in the 1956-57 season were opportunities for Hollywood stars to take a break from their film and television careers and return to the stage. Oscar-winning actress Shelley Winters starred in N. Richard Nash's play The Girls of Summer. Winters is best known for her film roles in A Place in the Sun, The Diary of Anne Frank and The Poseidon Adventure. (Photograph courtesy of the Theatre Collection, Free Library of Philadelphia.)
