{"value"=>"<p>Miss Lortel's Library of Congress productions at the Coolidge Auditorium in Washington, D.C., grew out of a request from ANTA to present a play there. In 1960 she began with Sean O'Casey's <span class=\"title\">Time to Go</span> and Paul Vincent Carroll's <span class=\"title\">The Coggerers</span>, and continued to have presentations there for over 20 years. Her final production, on May 23, 1988, was her Broadway play <span class=\"title\">A Walk in the Woods</span>. Most of the works originated at either the White Barn Theatre or ANTA. There were usually only 2 performances of each program, and at the beginning of the series she often included 2 different works in each program. Some of the highlights of the Library of Congress series include: Jean Anouilh's <span class=\"title\">Medea</span>, Mark Van Doren's <span class=\"title\">The Last Days of Lincoln</span>, Donald Hall's production <span class=\"title\">An Evening's Frost</span>, Margaret Webster's <span class=\"title\">No Coward Soul</span>, Margaret Beals' <span class=\"title\">Love Is A...</span>, and Bertolt Brecht's <span class=\"title\">Sprechen Sie Brecht</span>. When Miss Lortel brought Edward Albee's <span class=\"title\">Fam and Yam</span> and Eugene Ionesco's <span class=\"title\">The Shepherd's Chameleon</span> to the Library of Congress in April, 1962, the <span class=\"title\">Washington Post</span> theater critic, Richard L. Coe, proclaimed her \"The Queen of Off-Broadway,\" a title that followed her throughout her career. The files contain programs, fliers, scripts, correspondence, press releases, and clippings.</p>"}
