As far as performing arts collections go, Arizona State University has been a star attraction for more than four decades.
Its Theatre for Youth and Community Collection is the largest, most utilized and internationally renowned youth-theater repository in the world, according to university officials.
With items dating back to the 17th century, the collection attracts scholars, playwrights, teaching artists, performers and students from far and wide to study its costumes, scripts, rare books, designs and ephemera, allowing youth and educators to take center stage and empowering them to tell their own stories.
