{"value"=>"<p>Files in Series III are arranged alphabetically and include materials from Witcover's theatrical experience with companies and studios other than Masterworks Laboratory Theatre. In addition to materials related to his directorial career, this series contains scripts, stage photography, performance recordings, and programs related to Witcover's acting experience. Files are also present from one of Witcover's first productions, a 1939 summer camp production of <span class=\"title\">Pirates of Penzance</span> in which he played Sergeant.</p> <p>Equity Library Theatre (ELT) is well represented in this series. Witcover both acted and directed for the company from 1948 to 1955, though materials related to his directing efforts are much more prevalent than those related to his acting. Programs, reviews, and stage photography for productions in which Witcover acted, including <span class=\"title\">Finian's Rainbow</span>, <span class=\"title\">The Merchant of Venice</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Peer Gynt</span>, are held here.</p> <p>Witcover directed <span class=\"title\">The Hasty Heart</span> in 1954 and <span class=\"title\">Mädchen in Uniform</span> in 1955 for ELT. <span class=\"title\">Mädchen</span>, starring Anne Meara and Barbara Barrie, represents the bulk of the ELT files, with programs, correspondence, audition cards and notes, director's notebook, and reviews.</p>"}
