Harold I. Hansen Papers
註釋The collection documents Hansen's career as a professor of theater arts and a local theater producer in Iowa, Michigan, New York, and Utah. Most of this material deals with Hansen's early involvement in the founding, and his forty-year involvement (1937-1977) as director, of the Hill Cumorah Pageant, a religious pageant (LDS or Mormon Church) held annually outside Palmyra, New York. The play's central theme is the discovery of the Book of Mormon at the "Hill Cumorah." Hansen first became involved with the pageant while serving as a missionary for the Mormon Church (Eastern States Mission, 1937-1939). Hansen's papers also document the evolving nature of academic, local and traveling theater in the United States from post-World War I (i.e., stage magic, the vaudeville stage, traveling tent shows, etc.,) to the 1970s
