Producers' files for a proposed pre-Broadway tryout of In the Summer House by Jane Bowles at the Westport Playhouse in August 1950 consist primarily of correspondence and contracts relating to casting by Robert T. Ingham, assistant to John C. Wilson who intended to produce the show with Oliver Smith. The show was to be directed by Garson Kanin and star Ruth Gordon, but was ultimately cancelled. Collection also includes telegrams from the producers and director, a clipping about the cancellation, a script from the 1953 Broadway production, and a thorough transcription of the entire collection prepared by the seller.
