These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.

- George C. Wolfe, the artistic director of the Shakespeare Festival, made Glover the focus of Noise/Funk, which had a cursory narrative about the history of blacks in America and how dance reflected their state over the last few centuries.

What this page does not know
- What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
- Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record — lyricist, book writer, director — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
