{"value"=>"<p>The Artistic Files contain materials generated by the departments under the direct supervision of Artistic Director Lynne Meadow. The Artistic Departments focused on creating and producing shows and performances as well as developing and maintaining working relationships with authors, artistic and theatrical agencies, and funding organizations. While every decision was ultimately subject to approval by Lynne Meadow and Barry Grove, Artistic Associate Jonathan Alper is credited with his invaluable assistance in shaping the artistic focus of the agency from 1980 until his death in 1990.</p> <p>Artistic files include show and performance materials related to off-Broadway, Broadway, and Cabaret productions and performances as well as materials related to the <span class=\"title\">Writers in Performance</span> series of readings by authors and performers. Materials include correspondence, scripts, casting lists, financial materials, fundraising materials, stage manager reports, publicity, photographs, and clippings as well as resumes of artistic personal, submissions from writers, artists and agents, and professional files created by Artistic department staff. Due to the close working relationship between the Artistic departments and General Management, assorted management materials can also be found in this series.</p>"}
