Active from 1904 to 1978, the Montana Masquers student group at the University of Montana’s School of Fine Arts was originally organized as the Quill and Dagger Society to stage theatrical productions. Daniel Bandman, a professional actor who had retired to Montana, helped stage the first play. By 1918, the group became the Masquer Theatre Organization, then later the Montana Masquers. John Mason Brown, who later became an internationally known drama critic, helped launch the UM program. The Masquers created a program for each play they produced. The programs list the names of the actors, crew, and others who assisted with the production. This collection includes events programs from 1913 to 1978. The exact dates for some of the programs is unknown.
