Lewis W. Heniford published a two volume bibliography (1/2/3/4 for the show : a guide to small-cast one-act plays) that can be used as a reference to partial contents of the theme-related contents of this collection. PLEASE NOTE: not all titles in the two volumes are held in the collection - the titles that are held have been marked with an asterisk in the author sections of both volumes of the FELTON copy in Special Collections.

As for plays not related to the theme (boxes 10-27) - these plays represent a broad range of American and British drama, but do not represent any cohesive theme or scope. The collection is overall not fully processed, so reference to any specific title cannot be made.
