Scope and arrangement
The Rita Fredricks papers date from 1945 to 1975. The files contain promotional materials and administrative records from the United States tour of Viveca Lindfors' one-woman show, I Am a Woman. The files date from 1971 to 1975 and include agreements and correspondence with booking agents and local theaters; expense reports and financial statements; scripts; posters, fliers, and programs; clippings of reviews and articles; letters to investors and potential investors; and correspondence regarding rights and royalties for the excerpts used in the production. A small amount of material concerning efforts to create a broadcast or film version of the show is also present. Researchers can find further information about I Am a Woman, including administrative and creative files, in the Viveca Lindfors papers (*T-Mss 2012-067).
The collection also contains one file of box office statements for Boccaccio (1975), and a mock-up of a poster for Geraldine Fitzgerald's one-woman show, Singing in the Streets, which toured in the 1970s.
Lastly, the collection contains five original holiday cards from artist Angna Enters, framed together, sent between 1945 and 1960.
