    Administrative history

    The New Play Society, established by Dora Mavor Moore in 1946, was a professional, non-profit theatre company, which produced original and other works (seventy-two productions in total). One of its most enduring efforts was the annual review 'Spring thaw,' which Moore's son, Mavor Moore, took charge of in the 1950s. The society was also responsible for a theatre school in Toronto.

    Custodial history

    This material originally formed part of the Dora Mavor Moore collection at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto, and was transferred to York University Archives in July, 1987.

    Scope and content

    The fonds consists of playbills and programmes for productions of the New Play Society, including 'Spring thaw,' and its predecessor body, the Village Players.
