The American/Century Play Company Collection held by the Music Division at the Library of Congress contains an array of some of the most acclaimed works of 20th-century American theater. Purchased by the Library in 2010, the APC/CPC Collection features about 1500 scripts from 1894-1997 that were represented or considered by the production company. Their clients represent a who’s-who of theater, including Eugene O’Neill, George Abbott, Rachel Crothers, and Tennessee Williams. In addition, there are business papers that deal with author representation, show production, publishing, and licensing for television, film, radio, and stock production.
