The non-textual materials are subdivided into the following three subseries. Subseries I. Photographs, 1952-66: This subseries consists of photographs of Gilbert and Sullivan production performances at Oberlin College. There are also miscellaneous rehearsal photographs of the Gilbert and Sullivan Summer Players in Cape Cod. Many of the photographs and individuals are unidentified. Subseries II.

One of the boxes, labeled “G&S Summer ’56 Cape Cod, Oberlin College,” contains images of students in costume and of productions from the Gilbert and Sullivan Players at Cape Cod in 1956. The other two boxes, each labeled “Duplicates,” appear to contain images of students and faculty at one or more receptions at Saint Paul’s College. The filmstrip, entitled “Medieval Theatre - The Miracle and Mystery Plays, Part I,” consists of a series of medieval paintings. Subseries III. Reel-to-Reel Recording, 1967: This subseries includes a reel-to-reel recording (five reels) of a special performance of The Pirates of Penzance by the Gilbert and Sullivan Players.

Playing the leads in this performance are Jane Warsaw (Mabel), Frank Spoto (Frederick), Lee Shlosberg (Major General), David Cornell (Pirate King), and Terrence Tobias (Samuel).
