Scripts, production records, published articles, correspondence, programs, ephemera, photographs and artwork document actor and director Erica Brown Freeman's association with the avant-garde and experimental Ridiculous Theatrical Company in New York City and its leaders Charles Ludlam and Everett Quinton over more than ten years. In addition to many annotated scripts and production documentation, of particular note are the complete production notes for Ludlam's The Mystery of Irma Vep, production documentation for Ludlam's Camille in both New York and London, various drafts of Quinton's script for Hunchback of Notre Dame, and an annotated typescript (1964) for When Clowns Play Hamlet by H. M. Koutoukas. Also included are two life masks of Charles Ludlam and Everett Quinton and two paintings by Charles Ludlam, gifts to Freeman from Ludlam.
