The Origins of the History of School Theatre in the Jesuit College in Chyrów
Journal Title: Studia Paedagogica Ignatiana. Rocznik Wydziału Pedagogicznego Akademii Ignatianum w Krakowie - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
One of the finest episodes in the history of the Scientific and Educational Department of the Jesuit Fathers in Chyrów (1886–1939) was its theatre. Archives contain numerous sources which provide information on its functions, aims, conditions in which it functioned, and its counsellors. These are numerous dispersed manuscripts and printed materials issued by the school, official Reports of the school administration, regulations for academic staff, richly illustrated publications issued for the 25th and 50th anniversary of the institution, as well as copies of the school gazette. The second group of sources, most valuable to theatre historians, are documents concerning the work of the theatre – 35 unique copies of plays from the lost Chyrów Theatre Library, often containing annotations, 432 programmes, as well as individual iconographic sources. The article discusses the usefulness of these documents, particularly for historical research. The author analyses their contents and emphasises the necessity of their careful scrutiny, due to frequent omissions, inaccuracies, and mistakes. The author states that only after confirmation and completion of the archival materials will it be possible to reconstruct the theatre’s repertoire calendar, determining the dates and occasions of performances, play titles, scenic forms, lists of performers and audience composition.
