Scope and arrangement
The Lenka Peterson papers contain mostly scripts, along with other material about the production of the shows Peterson participated in.
The scripts series contains copies of scripts from shows Peterson was a part of, some of which are annotated. The office files series includes correspondence, publicity, photographs, investments and Playbills.

-
1943-1996
