Where can I find proper formatting for a theatre program?

I am doing the printed program for a one-act festival and looking for the proper formatting for the actor's bios. I have 20+ bios that have been submitted to me; Each one has a completely different format. Some have designated past productions with underline/ALL CAPS/quotation marks and I'm trying to figure out which is the traditional or formalized way to format all of them so they are the same. Any thoughts, suggestions or samples I could take a peak at?

I believe the English standard is to use quotations, however graphically they tend to break up a paragraph making it more difficult to read. I prefer to use italics.
