- Summary
- Robert A. Baron (1921-1980) was a theater company manager. In 1960, he was engaged by the League of New York Theatres to prepare reports on the financial performance of Broadway productions. The reports were intended to be used in the League's negotiations with the Dramatists Guild regarding royalties. The Robert A. Baron papers on Broadway financial statistics (1959-1977, bulk 1960-1961) contains financial statements, accounting worksheets, tables, graphs, draft reports, notes, clippings, and correspondence. The bulk of the material relates to the 1960-1961 Broadway season and to a select number of 1950s productions. There are also financial records and correspondence related to the League's campaigns to eliminate city and federal taxes on theater ticket sales. Material dating after 1961 is primarily correspondence regarding Baron's earlier work. Box 3 contains a small number of documents relate to Baron's work as company manager for the national tour of Seidman & Son (1963).
