Papers of a director of plays and operas. Most extensive are theater files containing scripts, reviews, notes, designs, production information, and musical scores. Of varying depth, these materials document Freedman’s work on “Bells Are Ringing” (1956), “The Creation of the World and Other Business” (1972), “Hair” (1967), “MacBird” (1967), “Oh, Dad, Poor Dad, Mama’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad” (1962), “West Side Story” (1966), and numerous productions of the New York Shakespeare Festival. Material is particularly complete for “Time for Singing” (1966) and “Take One Step” (1968), two plays which Freedman wrote in collaboration with John Morris.
