{"value"=>"<p>This series contains files kept by Ostrow in his capacity as a producer. In chronological order, these contain primarily correspondence, as well as notes, business files, projects for consideration, memos, proposals, and other materials related to the day-to-day workings of his production office. There is a heavy focus on procuring capitalization and the search for creative teams and potential artists. Of interest are the pitches playwrights and their agents submitted in an effort to enlist Ostrow as a producer on their projects. Ostrow mingled business with his personal relationships and often a letter pertaining to a contract is followed by an introduction of a lyricist to a composer with whom he might collaborate, or a thank you note for an invitation to an opening night. Honors and awards, including correspondence from the White House in recognition of Ostrow's achievements, can be found at the end of this series.</p>"}
