Condición: Fine. Washington, D.C., May 27, 1977., 1977. Fine. - Over 150 words typed on his 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide "ATA American Theatre Association" stationery. Responding to Jean Dalrymple, Jack Morrison writes "As to your question, how many community theaters there are including regional and school theaters--nobody knows!" "There probably are 'over 100,000' if you count every little company in a church basement or whatever in a given year." Though Peter Zeisler at Theatre Communication Group knows how many "regional professional theaters" there are, it's impossible to know how many amateur groups there are, especially if one considers "theater to be every high school that puts on at least one play a year." Signed "Jack". Folded for mailing with a pencil line by Jean Dalrymple indicating she has read the letter. Else, fine. The executive director of the American Theatre Association Jack Sherman Morrison (1912-1997) married James Cagney's sister Jeanne Cagney in 1953.
