Abstract
Includes administrative records, as well as files kept by the society regarding winners and annual actress/actor of the year awards, leading lady awards and scholarship awards. Also photographs of society events and award recipients.
Biographical/Historical
The Sarah Siddons Society was founded in 1952 by a small group of eminent Chicago theater-goers, including Edith Luckett Davis, mother of future First Lady Nancy Reagan. Modeled after the fictional Society of the same name featured in the 1950 film All About Eve, the Society was named for one of England’s most prominent 18th-century tragediennes, and presented an annual award to the actress members deemed most outstanding in a production based or touring in Chicago. The first of these Actress of the Year Awards was presented to Helen Hayes for the 1952-1953 theater season, for her role in Mrs. McThing. Awards were presented this and each subsequent year at a Gala event attended by Society members, members of the Chicago theater community, special guests and members of the press.
Shortly after its founding, the Society also began sponsoring scholarships for promising local drama students of the Goodman School of Drama and, later, students of Northwestern University and Columbia College. These awards, presented in the name of the Actress of the Year for each given season, provide one year of tuition for the honored student. In 1987 the Society also began to award an annual Leading Lady Award to truly Chicago-based actresses, honoring such performers as Laurie Metcalf for a role at the Steppenwolf Theater, of which she was a founding member.
In addition to presenting these awards and hosting its annual Gala, the Society has organized year-round events for its members, including opening night theater events, luncheons, theater talks and trips, often involving members of the local and national theater community. Members also annually attend the Northwestern University Waa-Mu performance, a student musical revue.
Officially incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1960, the Sarah Siddons Society is governed by an elected President and Board of Governors. Membership is open to the public, through an annual membership fee. Past presidents include Martha Appleton, Donna Beaumont Atwater, Edith Luckett Davis, Thomas Gowenlock III, Camille Hatzenbuehler, Carol Horschke, Francine McCrea, Dinah Perutz and William Zane.
For additional information regarding the history of the Society and Sarah Siddons herself, see Series 1: Administrative Files, Boxes 1-3.

Series 2: Awards Files, 1952-2000
Scope and Contents
The Awards series includes files for winners of the following awards given by the Society: Actress/Actor of the Year, 1952-2000, Leading Lady, 1987-1991, and Scholarship, 1956-2000. These files include a wide variety of materials which shed light on the winners biographically, as well as the Gala at which the award was presented and the general state of Chicago theater the year of the award. Often included are invitations, ballots, press releases, newsclippings, correspondence between the Society and the awardee, materials relating to the planning of the Awards Gala, biographical sketches, awardee publicity materials and information relating to the production in which the awardee performed. Additional newsclippings or materials relating to the winner were often added to the files in subsequent years. Winners’ names are always provided next to the years for which they were honored.
Most award files have corresponding Photograph files. Most photographs in these files were taken at the Gala and include images of the winner and guests at various phases of the evening, as well as headshots and other publicity shots of the winner. Most are 8x10 black and white images, professionally shot. When files include notable individuals other than the award winner, the individual is listed in brackets beside the file title.
All three awards were presented at the same Gala each year; researchers interested in the Gala for a given year are therefore advised to look in the winner’s file for each award given that year. Researchers interested in Scholarship Award winners are advised that the years listed for the awards correspond to the Gala at which the award was presented; they therefore reflect the time at which the Scholarship was awarded, but not necessarily the years of school for which the Scholarship was used.
At some point in the early 1990s the system of dating the awards was changed. As a result, there are no awards listed for the 1991-1992 year span. There was no actual gap in the presentation of awards, however. At all times the dating of the Awards in this collection correspond to the dates on official invitations, ballots and award statues.
Arrangement
This series contains Subseries A: Actress/Actor of the Year Award; Subseries B: Leading Lady Award and Subseries C: Scholarship Award. All subseries are arranged chronologically by award year.
