{"value"=>"<p>This series contains the papers of Circle in the Square founder and artistic director, Theodore Mann. In addition to a significant amount of personal and professional correspondence, the series includes personal papers, office papers, material relating to works Mann produced and directed independently of Circle in the Square, and files pertaining to his work with the Maly Theater in Moscow. These papers give insight into the day-to-day operations of Circle in the Square at both the executive and creative levels, as well as illuminating the substantial body of work Mann produced outside the auspices of Circle.</p> <p>Correspondence illustrates Mann's personal and business relationships with many luminaries of Broadway and Off-Broadway theater, from actors, directors, and playwrights to literary, press and talent agents. The 1960s and 1970s are particularly well represented. This subseries also includes correspondence with various non-profit and educational organizations, many of which sought Mann as a supporter or speaker. Mann's--and by extension Circle's-- relationship to the works of Eugene O'Neill is illustrated through correspondence with the Carlotta Monterey O'Neill, the O'Neill estate, Tao House, and with individuals developing books, television, and film projects about the playwright and his works.</p> <p>Ted Mann’s personal papers consist largely of files dealing with household management, but also include awards, autobiographical material, and a segment of a personal journal. Mann’s wife, Patricia Brooks Mann, was an opera singer, and this subseries contains a small portion of material related to her career as a performer.</p> <p>Production files relating to plays and operas independently produced and directed by Mann can be found in this series; as with the material covering produced works in other series, some productions are more thoroughly documented than others.</p> <p>The Office Files sub-series is comprised of material generated in Mann’s office as part of the day-to-day operation of Circle in the Square, as well as material generated in the course of his other professional activities.</p> <p>The Maly Theater files pertain to Mann's trip to the Soviet Union and his work with Vitaly Solomon and The State Academic Maly Theater of Russia, where he directed Tennessee Williams' <span class=\"title\">Night of the Iguana</span> in 1989.</p>"}
