{"value"=>"<p>This series makes up the bulk of the collection because related papers such as correspondence, set designs, lighting and property plots and cast lists, have been kept with the play to which they pertain. It is arranged alphabetically by playwright. Most of the promptbooks are bound volumes consisting of the typed, usually published, pages of the scripts unbound and then pasted into larger, blank volumes, allowing ample room for Prentice's extensive notations. Some contain photographs and cast lists from original (pre-Prentice) productions. A few of these bound volumes contain two different plays. These are necessarily arranged under only one playwright with the other given an added entry for retrieval. Many of the volumes have a number pasted on the front which undoubtedly was relevant to Prentice. However, since not all volumes were numbered, this was not the system chosen for arrangement.</p>"}
