Do you have any treasures from the theater world hiding away in a closet or on a shelf? If so, there’s people who want to see them! 

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, Wait in the Wings invites theater fans, performers, and members of the theater community to help answer that question at the Broadway History Harvest, a free community archiving event at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in Manhattan.

The event gives people a chance to bring their own pieces of theater history (including photographs, costumes, props, correspondence, and merchandise) to be digitized and preserved. Participants also record brief oral histories, sharing the memories and experiences connected to the materials they bring. All physical items are digitized on-site and returned to their owners.

The 2026 Broadway History Harvest will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2026 9:00am to 1:00 pm at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in Manhattan. The event is free and space is limited; advanced registration is highly suggested.
