Atkinson’s Jollities

Charles Atkinson with his Jollities theatre troupes produced plays that are noted below. Their performances overlapped to a degree Atkinson’s Peck Bad Boy productions.

The Jollities put on “The Electric Doll” in America and Europe. This was written by Clinton G. Parrefield with music by J. Adalim. It appears the play premiered in December 1879. It ran for a number of years thereafter.

The Electric Spark was a comic opera written by Charles Pidgin and composed by Charles D. Blake. Atkinson’s Jollities performed it thousands of times in the 1880’s in America and Europe.
