2009 ASTR Conference

Dear ASTR conference attendees,

Welcome to our digital ‘preview’ of items open for bidding in the 2nd Annual ASTR Silent Auction. We are excited about the range of offerings, including signed books by top scholars in our field, theatre tickets, posters, rare playbills, and original artwork. Contributions from members of ASTR, publishers, and  theatre companies have been outstanding and we invite you to peruse these items  at your leisure in advance of the conference. Come prepared to bid early and often on those items that are of interest; all proceeds benefit graduate student and junior scholar resources in theatre research through ASTR. 

Pre-bidding begins on Thursday at 2:00 p.m. when registration opens; look for the round auction sign to place your challenge bids at the outset of the conference.  The items will be on display on Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. when the bidding closes.

The winning bidders will be posted during the ASTR luncheon on Saturday. Please plan to claim your items by credit card, check or cash on Saturday before 5:00 p.m.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to those who have contributed to the auction this year. Especially, we appreciate the logistical support offered by Tracy Davis, Nancy Erickson, Jean Nelson, Isel Rodríguez, Matt Omasta, and Barbara W. Grossman without whom this important fundraising event may not have been possible.

We look forward to seeing you at the auction.
