NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle will host the popular Stage & Screen auction on Wednesday, March 18, 2026 at 10am. Fans and collectors around the world will be delighted by the exciting offerings celebrating the performing arts of Theater, Hollywood, Music and Dance. A special section of the sale will present the Estate of Charles Stouse and Barbara Siman.

The Estate of Charles Strouse & Barbara Siman
Doyle is honored to auction the Estate of the legendary Tony, Emmy and Grammy award-winning composer Charles Strouse and his wife, choreographer Barbara Siman. Over his 50-year career Strouse wrote the music for such iconic musical theater hits as Bye Bye Birdie, Applause and Annie, as well as the theme song for the classic sitcom All in the Family ("Those Were the Days"). Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin's partnership on Annie produced one of Broadway's most successful scores ever. "Tomorrow" and other songs from the production have since become enduring American musical standards admired by generations. Read More

The Edward Albee and Harold Pinter Collection of Director Alan Schneider
Following on the success of the Samuel Beckett collection sold in November 2025, Doyle is honored to offer the collection of materials relating to Edward Albee and Harold Pinter from the archive of director Alan Schneider (1917-1984). Schneider was the director for the premiere of Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf in October 1962 and offered is his annotated scripts, show posters, and presentation copies of books from Albee. Of note is the Tony Award Schneider won for his direction of this important and influential play. Schneider also directed the American premieres of Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party and The Homecoming. Inscribed books and posters from this important playwright will also be offered (View Lots).

The Collection of Maynard Solomon
Offered in the sale are items from the collection of Maynard Solomon (1930-2020), founder of Vanguard Records and biographer of Beethoven, Mozart, and Schubert. Vanguard Records was founded in 1950 by Maynard and his brother Seymour Solomon and, while primarily a classical label, the company also issued important jazz, folk, and blues musicians. Of note were the first albums of Joan Baez and several gold records presented to Maynard Solomon are included in this selection. The label also was first to sign the 1960s rock group Country Joe and the Fish, whose protest of the Vietnam War at Woodstock was one of the most poignant moments of that legendary festival. Offered in the auction are several Woodstock gold records presented to band members including Barry "The Fish" Melton. Finally, the selection includes original artwork by Erich von Schmidt which graced the covers of Vanguard's issue of works by Bach and Schubert (View Lots).
