This is a program for the George Bernard Shaw play "Major Barbara" at the Greenwich Mews Theatre. The program is a single sheet of white paper, printed with black typeface on both sides. The front includes a schedule of the play's acts, list of cast & production staff, and credits. At the top left is text that reads "The Mews is an interracial theatre which casts / for talent regardless of color; fitness to play / a role being our only criteria." On the reverse is the text “WHO'S WHO IN THE CAST” featuring short biographies of cast and crew members, including Clarice Taylor, who played Lady Britomart.
