Scope and arrangement
The Wayne F. Maxwell papers, 1940s-2005, document his performing arts career mostly on Broadway, Off-Broadway and in regional theaters. Scripts comprise the bulk of the collection with several written by him.
This collection mostly reflects how Maxwell assiduously documented his career. There are four scrapbooks of photographs, programs, and reviews of Maxwell's performances from his middle school years to his time as a professional actor. The remainder of the collection is printed matter, some correspondence (mostly congratulatory), commercial photographs from plays, and two juvenile books.
