{"value"=>"<p>Series II holds scripts from produced and unproduced musicals, as well as some plays and television shows that date from 1930 to 2016. There are three binders from musical productions featuring scene and musical number drafts. Some of the musical scripts are pre-published book drafts with early working titles.</p> <p>The series contains scripts for most of Kert's Broadway, touring, Off-Broadway, and regional musical productions. Several writers wrote different musicals based on Al Jolson's life (<span class=\"title\">Joley</span>, <span class=\"title\">Jolson</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Al Jolson, Tonight</span>), these scripts are also present in the series. Most of the unproduced musical scripts present were sent to Kert with notes from the librettist. The television scripts include Kert's guest-starring episodes in <span class=\"title\">Combat!</span>, <span class=\"title\">Hawaii Five-O</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Kojak</span>. There is a draft interfiled with Kert's scripts from a Tony Stevens associated production of <span class=\"title\">Billy-Be-Dam</span> (an early version of <span class=\"title\">Billy</span>).</p> <p>There are three binders, <span class=\"title\">Chicago</span>, <span class=\"title\">Rags</span>, and <span class=\"title\">The Rise of David Levinsky</span>, from musical productions that include scene and musical number drafts. Of note is the <span class=\"title\">Chicago</span> binder that also holds Kert's director notes, stage sketches, and annotated sheet music and song lyrics from the University of Miami's 1986 production.</p> <p>Be advised, Al Jolson-related scripts include words that can be harmful and offensive.</p>"}
