Description: This is a rare March 7th, 1959 "On Stage" playbill from the National Tour engagement of the WILLIAM INGE play "THE DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS" at the Shubert Theatre in Detroit, Michigan.

Ironically, Miss Weld was replaced as an understudy late in the run by SANDY DENNIS who would eventually appear in the production before participating in the National Tour .....
