{"value"=>"<p>This subseries is arranged alphabetically by production and represents theatrical productions and staged readings produced by the foundation. Files such as correspondence, costume and set designs, photographs, posters, promotional material, prompt books, research materials, scripts, and theatrical notes are held here. The prompt books are particularly rich and can contain cast lists, news clippings, notes, set and lighting designs, schedules, and annotated scripts. Often productions contain multiple scripts. These scripts can include various revisions, scripts with notes for various characters and technical staff, master scripts, and tour scripts. Posters represent the majority of productions produced by the Foundation and include mock-ups, negatives, and finished posters.</p> <p>In addition to producing plays, the Foundation staged reviews of a selection of scenes from various plays, such as K on K (Kafka on Kafka) that was composed of scenes from many of Kafka's seminal works and The Scene Project that included scenes from Seymour is Dead, Happiest Day, Light in August, Progress Report, Sun Set, Sue Drinkwater, and Sad Song. The HB Retrospective, produced in 1992, showcased portions of Waiting for Godot, Charlotte, In a Coffin in Egypt, and A Report to the Academy. The Foundation also hosted evenings of one-act plays and musical performances. Romulus Linney's One and Two Act Plays included Holy Ghosts, The Broofer, Who is Buried in Grant's Tomb, Goodbye Howard, Democracy and Ester, Man's Estate, The Love Suicide, and Don't Worry About Me. Three Pieces of Peter Hanke consisted of Public Insult,Self-Accusation, and Description of a Life. Tales of Manhattan included The Landmarker, The Country Cousin, and The Club Bedroom. The Poetry of Norman Rosten regards a recording made of Rosten, Hagen, and actor Robert Elston reading Rosten's poetry.</p> <p>For a full list of productions and staged readings performed at HP Foundation since their first season in 1964, refer to the \"HP Playwrights Foundation Production History\" that can be accessed online at http://www.hbplaywrights.org/PAST%20SEASONS.pdf</p>"}
