JEAN DALRYMPLE (Producer) Although she became best known for her work with the New York City Center, Dalrymple, who was born in Morristown, New Jersey, began her professional career writing vaudeville sketches. For a time she worked with John Golden, then established her own office as publicist and manager in 1937. In the late 1940s she produced several shows on Broadway, most notably a revival of Burlesque (1946) and Red Gloves (1948). She had been associated with the City Center since its inception, but not until she was named to its board of directors did she start to mount productions there, including a series of plays with José Ferrer (Cyrano de Bergerac, The Shrike, Richard III, and Charley's Aunt), King Lear, and Mister Roberts. From 1957 to 1968, Dalrymple was general director of the City Center Light Opera Company, mounting forty-seven revivals of thirty different musicals, the most frequently staged of which were Brigadoon and South Pacific. She also wrote several books on theatre and the autobiographical September Child (1963) and From the Last Row (1975).
