The Tech Show was an annual student production, usually a musical revue or vaudeville comedy. The first performance was given 12 May 1899 to liquidate the debt of the Athletic Association. In 1901 the Tech Show presented the American premier of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Grand Duke." For several years in the 1920s the Tech show was performed for alumni in several eastern cities, but for financial reasons performances were given later only at MIT. The show was discontinued from 1937 to 1946 but was revived in 1947 when women, mostly from local Boston colleges, joined the cast. The last show was presented in 1969. |
