{"value"=>"<p>Series II contains material relating to three of Wolfe's administrative roles: as artistic director of the Public Theater from 1993 until its 2004-2005 season, as artistic director of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and as a private member of the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities.</p> <p>The Public Theater is represented by correspondence, budgets and financial documents, legal documents, notes, photographs, press, posters, and items for its fiftieth anniversary and Wolfe's farewell party. Correspondence includes congratulations on Wolfe's 1993 appointment and well-wishes after he announced his departure, as well as all correspondence that is not specific to one production. Benefits and memorials that were staged at the theater are included in this series, as are writings by Wolfe about the theater. Any material that concerns the history and general promotion of the Public Theater is housed in this series, including audio interviews that Wolfe conducted with Merle Debuskey, an early press agent for the Public Theater, and the ex-wife of Joseph Papp, Peggy Papp.</p> <p>Wolfe's gallery research and designs for the National Center for Civil and Human Rights are a significant part of this series, as are materials from the museum's founding and groundbreaking. The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities is represented through correspondence among the committee members and White House Christmas cards sent to Wolfe, his ID for the 2009 presidential inauguration, napkins from the White House, programs, a photograph of First Lady Michelle Obama with the committee, and a photograph of Wolfe with Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.</p>"}
