{"value"=>"<p>Series I is the largest in the collection and contains the widest variety of materials. It spans the whole of Wolfe's career, from his earliest theatrical works that were written and performed while he was in college to the Netflix film <span class=\"title\">Rustin</span> (2023). The productions that Wolfe was creatively involved in are the most well-covered, and theatrical productions are more represented than films.</p> <p>Theatrical productions are contained in subseries I.A., which in addition to Wolfe's work includes productions staged at the Public Theater while he was artistic director, but that he did not write or direct. Subseries I.B. contains all film and television productions that Wolfe directed, and subseries I.C. is dedicated to productions he either appeared in or attended. Finally, subseries I.D. is comprised of unrealized or unknown productions, for both the stage and the screen.</p> <p>This series is heavy on correspondence relating to the individual productions and includes a wide range of well-known theatrical and film personalities. This includes, but is not limited to, Thulani Davis, Ann Duquesnay, Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, Margo Lion, Reggie Montgomery, Mike Nichols, Anna Deavere Smith, Danitra Vance, and Robin Wagner. The correspondence in this series showcases Wolfe's prominent role in modern American theater.</p> <p>Also included in this series are professional and candid photographs, scripts (often with notes and edits), set and costume designs, notes, scores, press and publicity materials, programs, tickets, schedules, awards, moving image and audio recordings, opening night gifts, ID cards, mementos from film sets, focus group and marketing reports, and research materials. Oftentimes, the programs and posters were signed by the cast, and occasionally programs are interleaved with correspondence, tickets, and notes. Both physical awards, such as certificates and plaques, and items from awards ceremonies are present, mostly from the Tony Awards.</p>"}
