Description
On July 18, 1914, the Mountain Play Association gave an encore performance of Shakuntala which had premiered in the Mountain Theater on Mount Tamalpais in May of 1914. This encore performance was held at the University of California, Berkeley's Greek Theatre under the auspices of the Musical and Dramatic Committee of the University of California. The Mountain Play Association began its annual production in an outdoor amphitheater on top of Mount Tamalpais, Marin County, in 1913. Shows run for several weekends, beginning each May. Since its start, the plays have gained popularity and now draw large audiences. This image is from a collection of scrapbooks, deposited with the California Room in 1975, by Mountain Play Association Director, Marion Hayes Cain.
