{"value"=>"<p>\"Assignments\" is the term Marcus uses for her main work files. Files in this series are labeled with the name of the production, theater company, people, or events they document.</p> <p>The vast majority of images depict live performances of plays and musicals. Many staged publicity shots and cast portraits are also included. Some individual headshot portraits of actors, playwrights, and directors are present, as are occasional images of rehearsals, backstage scenes, and other theater-related events. Most productions were staged in New York City, though Marcus also occasionally documented performances in Washington, DC, and touring productions as they travelled regionally around the United States.</p> <p>Assignments files typically contain slides, prints, contact sheets, and digital image files. Occasionally, documents relating to shooting sessions or particular productions, such as: lab invoices; Marcus's handwritten notes; other correspondence; playbills; cast lists; or programs are found alongside photographs in these files. Many duplicate and similar images appear within a single file. Marcus's editing choices can frequently be discerned by markings on slide sleeves or notations on the backs of prints.</p> <p>In 2003 Marcus began using digital cameras. She was an early adopter of digital photography, making the transition from traditional analog processes gradually throughout the 2000s and 2010s. Assignments files from 2003 onward may include digital images. Digital image files become more prevalent among Assignments as the years progress.</p>"}
