The Floyd T. Morgan Photo Collection consists of several hundred photo slides of the productions of the Hilltop Amateur Dramatic Society and
Utah State Theatre company. Most of the slides were taken by H. Reuben Reynolds and either directed or designed by Floyd T. Morgan. The plays
displayed in the photographs also represent productions directed by W. Vosco Call, Don Quayble, and Uras Allred. Some of the slides contain written
information describing persons or scenes depicted in the photographs. Included in the collection are several slides of the constructed sets, a
few slides of the USU Amphitheatre, and many slides of the actors performing in the plays themselves. One folder in the collection
contains programs of the plays and a list of basic information about the plays written by W. Vosco Call.
