| Summary | The composer-lyricist team of Robert Wright and George "Chet" Forrest was active from the 1930s through the 1990s, primarily in the medium of staged musicals, though they also wrote songs for films, club acts, revues, television, and radio. The collection documents their creative output through holograph, manuscript, and printed scores, parts, sketches and lyric sheets as well as a small amount of clippings, contracts, correspondence, notes, programs, schedules, and scripts. |
