Concerts
1968 Season


By the 1968 Season, Sinjin Terrell had enlarged the variety of artist who performed in concert. Interspersed with the concerts, only five Musicals, a Burlesque show, and a Circus were presented. It appears only one of those Musicals was produced by Mr. Terrell ("Plain and Fancy"), the other four were package tours ("Hello Dolly," Finian's Rainbow," "Pajama Game," and "The Merry Widow." (These details have not been confirmed though.)
