bioghist: {"value"=>"Director Alan Schneider was born Abram Leopoldovich Schneider in Kharkov Russia on December 12, 1917 (There is some confusion surrounding the date--the true date being December 11.) He arrived in New York with his parents, Leopold Victorovich Schneider and Rebecka Samilovna Malkin Schneider, both physicians, on July 4, 1923 and spent his childhood in Maryland where his parents worked in tuberculosis sanatoriums. Mr. Schneider received a B.A. magna cum laude in political Science from the University of Wisconsin in 1939 and an M.A. in Dramatic Literature from Cornell University in 1941. He began his professional career as a teacher and director at Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. in 1941. He served on the faculty (with Walter Kerr) for eleven years and received his first professional directing assignment there for a production of William Saroyan's Jim Dandy. During World War II, he worked for various government agencies and acted in a Broadway flop called Storm Operationby Maxwell Anderson in 1944. Mr. Schneider maintained a lifelong interest in theater education, subsequently teaching at Boston University, ca. 1970, the Juilliard Theatre Center from 1976-1979, and the University of California, San Diego where he was head of the Graduate Directing Program from 1979 to 1984. His first New York production was A Long Way from Home by Maxim Gorki, adapted by Randolph Goodman and Walter Carroll, which opened at Maxine Elliott's Theatre on February 8, 1948. The only director to receive a Tony Award (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, (1963) and an Obie Award (The Dumb Waiterand The Collection, 1963) in the same year, Mr. Schneider directed well over one hundred works, including the original American productions of such playwrights as Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Edward Albee, Robert Anderson, Joe Orton, and Michael Weller. In addition to the New York theater, he was active in regional theater, especially in his association with The Acting Company and as artistic director of the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. (1951-1953, 1961-1963 and 1973). For the proposed Ithaca Festival, he served as artistic director from 1963 to 1968. Mr. Schneider received several international prizes for his work on Samuel Beckett's Film(1964). He also directed for television. Mr. Schneider traveled extensively in his professional capacity, especially in Eastern Europe and Russia and also directed productions in England and Israel. In 1949, he received a Rockefeller Foundation grant for a study of European theater and traveled to Eastern Europe as a cultural representative for the U.S. State Department. He toured the U.S.S.R. in1973 with the Arena Stage production of Thornton Wilder's Our Townand was also the U.S. delegate of the International Theatre Institute that year. He married Eugenie Muckle in 1953; they had a daughter, Viveca and a son, David. Alan Schneider died May 3, 1984 in London from head injuries suffered when he was hit by a motorcycle. At the time of his death, Mr. Schneider served as the president of Theatre Communications Group and had just completed the first volume of his autobiography, Entrances: An American Director's Journey, published posthumously by Viking in 1986."}
scopecontent: {"value"=>"The Alan Schneider papers consist of correspondence, clippings, programs, scripts, production materials, photographs, personal papers, plans, and administrative records and reports for a number of institutions with which Mr. Schneider was involved. The bulk of the papers document professional rather than personal activities and reflect Mr. Schneider's careers in both the commercial theater and in theater education. The papers include his work at The Juilliard School, Catholic University, and University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Much of the correspondence is photocopied and includes letters from Robert Anderson, Hume Cronyn, Tyrone Guthrie, Norris Houghton, Robert Kalfin, Joseph Papp, Anna Deveare Smith, and Michael Weller. Personal papers include a file of clippings on his only Broadway appearance as an actor in the play Storm Operationby Maxwell Anderson (1944). Mr. Schneider's extensive subject files contain mostly photocopied clippings on several topics such as playwrights, arena stages and Off-Broadway, on individual theater artists such as Bertolt Brecht, Anton Chekhov, and Liviu Ciulei, and on groups such as the Berliner Ensemble. Production files consist largely of clippings, but include numerous programs autographed by Mr. Schneider for plays he directed, as well as a number of annotated scripts and production materials. Two of Michael Weller's plays, Loose Ends (1979) and Moonchildren(1972) are thoroughly documented. Arena Stage (Washington, D.C.), with which Mr. Schneider was associated intermittently for several decades, is well-documented and includes a number of talks and pieces written by Arena founder, Zelda Fichandler. The group's 1973 trip to Russia, as part of the U.S. Cultural Exchange Program, is also documented. The organizations series is the largest in the collection and reflect Mr. Schneider's participation mostly with professionally-related groups. Scripts received by Mr. Schneider range from several works by eastern European playwrights and little-known American playwrights, to works by Bertolt Brecht, Clifford Odets and Harold Pinter. Photographs largely document Mr. Schneider's professionally related trips and interests--specifically of the Berliner Ensemble and of numerous plays and performers during his Cultural Exchange trips to Russia in the 1970s. There are also a number of photos of the proposed Ithaca Festival theater. Oversized materials include photographs and plans for several productions such as The Juilliard School's production of The Cherry Orchard(1977), Loose Ends (1979), Moonchildren (undated), and Pieces of Eight (1983-1984 and undated). Photocopies of Mr. Schneider’s correspondence with Samuel Beckett are in the Samuel Beckett Collection, Center for Irish Programs at Boston College. The bulk of Mr. Schneider’s production materials are located with his papers at the Mandeville Special Collections Library, University of California, San Diego. Note: Former classmarks for many collection items have been listed in the Processing Information."}

Many of the photographs also document Mr. Schneider's trips to the Soviet Union in 1973 both for the International Theatre Institute's 15th Congress in May 1973, and as part of the Cultural Exchange Program which brought two Arena Stage productions, Our Town, directed by Mr. Schneider, and Inherit the Wind to Russia in the fall of the same year.
