This appears to be a working cast-and-production page for `Count Cool Brown,` listing roles, actors, and staging notes.
Unlike the lyrical fragments around it, this page is administrative and theatrical. It opens a glimpse into the manuscripts as working documents, where names, roles, and production structure sit alongside poems and reflections. That practical texture matters because it broadens the archive beyond finished verse.
A working cast-and-staging page for a play, '"Count Cool Brown"', pairing roles with actors - 'Billy Brown - Larry Thomas', 'Mrs. Brown - Nancy Meany', three numbered 'boy' parts including '1st boy - Daniel Allen' - and closing on production notes '3 scene pages / 2 quick action.' It documents the manuscript's hybrid character, drama drafts living beside poems.
