Scope and Content
This series documents the theatrical works of Clay M. Greene. The bulk of this series consists of play scripts, screenplays and scenarios, with a small sampling of musical scores and librettos.

Some were created for social club events such as the New York Lambs’ Gambol, the Bohemian Club’s Grove Play or the Annual Pow-Wow of the Huckleberry Indians (comprised of New York Athletic Club members). The majority of the manuscripts and typescripts are working drafts with edits. There are a few playbills, printed booklets and musical scores.
