Stage Director

The Billboard, 10 June 1905.

Using money saved from performances in Boston and New York in 1904, and building from her experience as a producer, Agnes Atherton took on a new role as stage director and producer for a show titled "In a Turkish Harem" at Miller's Theatre in Lima, Ohio.

The theater had recently reopened following a closure for "a contagion", which resonates now coming out of the COVID experience 115 years later.

It looks like Agnes' show ran through at least the end of May 1905, possibly into June. In November, Agnes returned to Buffalo, New York for a series of shows at Linn's Museum, one of which was a benefit show with the entire proceeds donated to a veterans organization. These performances ran through at least the first week of December 1905.

By the end of January 1906, Agnes had returned to New York. She performed at the Capital Music Hall in Glens Falls during the week of 22 January (Billboard 3 February 1906), then on to the Rialto Theatre in Elmira (Billboard, 24 March 1906). At the end of July, she was at the American Concert Garden in Canton, Ohio.
