Creative Theatre Unlimited was founded as a non-profit chapter of the Community Art Alliance, Miami, Florida in 1981. Instead of using scripts and actors, Creative Theatre Unlimited worked with the community, educational, and school groups to create, discover and present drama and other arts programs for a variety of needs and purposes. The focus of Creative Theatre Unlimited is to bring art to people who were not likely to otherwise experience it. The president, Charles Numrich, was the creator, organizer, advertiser, fundraiser and dramatist for the organization. The materials here represent the programs and performances from the theatre's work in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.
The collection contains advertising, correspondence, financial documents, oral histories relating to Creative Theatre Unlimited projects, class materials and conference, performance, workshop and video production materials.
An unpublished finding aid with detailed contents is available in the Manuscripts Division.
