The Regional Theater Council (RTC) for Northern California and Nevada was a regional affiliate of the American National Theater
and Academy (ANTA), an organization created to promote and support the development of American theatre. RTC, founded in the
early 1950s, drew its membership from community and university theatres around the region. RTC disbanded by 1969 due to lack
of interest, fragmentation, and absorption by other related organizations, such as the California Educational Theater Association
(CETA), the Northern California District of the American Educational Theater Association (NCD-AETA), and the American Community
Theater Association (ACTA).
Bernard Rosenblatt, a professor at San Joaquin Delta College, served as president of RTC in the mid and late 1960s, and served
as Vice President of the NCD-AETA upon its formation in 1968.
This collection documents the activities of Bernard Rosenblatt and the Regional Theater Council for Northern California and
Nevada, as well as related organizations such as the Northern California District of the American Educational Theatre Association
and the American Community Theatre Association. Types of records include correspondence, meeting minutes, organizational constitutions,
histories, and newsletters dating from 1960 - 1969. Also included is Bernard Rosenblatt's collection of theatre programs from
institutions across the United States (from the Metropolitan Opera to community theatre productions) dating from 1938-1979.
The organizational records are located in boxes 1 and 2, and the theatre programs are located in boxes 2 and 3.
