Alan Schneider Papers, 1929-1980

Container Title
Subseries: Subseries 2: Plays Acted In and Directed By Schneider
Scope and Content Note: In this subseries, the plays Schneider directed are subdivided into seven theater categories: Broadway, Off-Broadway, Regional, University and College, Radio Television and Film, Foreign, and Miscellany. Within these categories plays are arranged chronologically according to the date of production. The entries for each play give the author, theater, opening date, and any information regarding other productions of the same play directed by Schneider. In the folders for any given production the materials are classified in the following order. First is the general correspondence: dated, undated. If there is financial correspondence, records, or contracts, they will follow general correspondence. Second are the production notes which are arranged in the following sequence: (a) general notes--casting, set, costume and lighting designs, sound and music, rehearsal schedule, cast and crew list, and miscellaneous; (b) programs or playbills from out-of-town tryouts and opening night, as well as clippings, reviews and miscellany pertaining to the particular production; (c) various scripts--director's, original, or revised, and rewrites. Whereas all the elements mentioned may not be available for every play, those materials which are available will be found arranged in this general sequence. Researchers should note that Schneider sometimes writes notes about the production at the end of his promptbook or script, in addition to the production notes in the folder. It should also be noted that the “Miscellany” subdivision contains scripts from productions in which Schneider worked in some capacity other than or in addition to director, e.g. assistant director, stage manager, actor.
