Miscellaneous papers of a noted Milwaukee, Wisconsin playwright
and actor. The collection includes drafts, scripts, news clippings, and publicity materials
for Shue's plays, poems, and writings, including The
Foreigner, Grandma Duck is Dead, The Nerd, and Wenceslas Square.
Includes an extensive number of Shue's letters to and from colleagues and friends concerning
personal matters and their careers, heavily annotated scripts of productions in which Shue
acted, and Shue's score for My Emperor's Clothes. Of
particular interest are Shue's diaries, dating from 1958 to 1985. Paintings and drawings,
done by Shue or by his friends and family for him, are included. Also included is the Chicago Report, a family newsletter written by Shue's father,
providing details on the family's activities, careers, and travels especially to the Far
East. The collection contains a recording of the memorial service at the Todd Wehr Theater
following Shue's September 1985 death in a plane crash. A book of tribute put together by
Shue's family, as well as letters to the family after Shue's death, are included in the
collection.
