{"value"=>"<p>The arrangement of the photographs parallels the papers. As with the papers, organizations comprise the bulk of the photographs. The Berliner Ensemble is the most-thoroughly documented group and includes production photographs, postcard collections, and a scrapbook of <span class=\"title\">The Caucasian Chalk Circle</span>(undated). Of special note are several snapshots of Helene Weigel probably lecturing, taken by Mr. Schneider in 1960.</p> <p>Included are photos of Desmond Heeley's designs for the theater at the proposed Ithaca Festival; the designs include text explaining Mr. Heeley's concept, as well as photos of theater models by architects Sean Kenny and the firm of Fairfield and Dubois.</p> <p>Many of the photographs also document Mr. Schneider's trips to the Soviet Union in 1973 both for the International Theatre Institute's 15th Congress in May 1973, and as part of the Cultural Exchange Program which brought two Arena Stage productions, <span class=\"title\">Our Town</span>, directed by Mr. Schneider, and <span class=\"title\">Inherit the Wind</span> to Russia in the fall of the same year. Photographs include production shots of Russian plays and performers, with some informal shots as well.</p>"}
