Vintage souvenir theater program from the celebrated 1966 Lincoln Center revival of Irving Berlin's "Annie Get Your Gun," starring Ethel Merman in her signature role as Annie Oakley. The production was presented by the Music Theater of Lincoln Center with Richard Rodgers as President and Producing Director and featured Bruce Yarnell, Harry Bellaver, Benay Venuta and Jerry Orbach. The program is signed by Ethel Merman on the verso. A second autograph appears along the left side of the verso and appears to read Jerry Orbach, who was a member of the production's cast. Both signatures are visible through the double-sided framing. The front features the bold red and gold "Annie Get Your Gun" souvenir program design. An appealing piece of Broadway history associated with one of Ethel Merman's most famous roles and the major 1966 revival of the classic Irving Berlin musical.
