Playrnalcers Plan Road Tour
Into West, North Next Fall
Will Give Green's
'House of i Connelly
Professor Frederick H. Koch will
realize a dream of 22 years next fall
when his Carolina Playmakers cross
their southern boundaries and play a
two-month roadbill of Paul Green's
"The House of Connelly," in cities and
colleges in the Middle West and New
England.
The 1941 tour will mark the fulfill
ment of the dream of a State Reper
tory company which came to "Proff"
Koch twenty-two years ago andiwhich
has remained uppermost in his mind
during thirty-seven barnstorming
tours through Dixie and into the
North and West, a3 far as upstate
New York and St. Louis. Professor
Koch, founder and director of the Play-
makers, envisioned the formation of a
traveling company which would break
through the limitations of the neces
sarily short annual tours and offer
talented Playmakers an opportunity
for further study and achievement in
dramatic arts. .
Final negotiations for the tour were
started this weekend when Crawford
A. Peffer, president of the Redpath
Lyceum bureau, booking agents, made
a special trip from New York to wit
ness the performance of "The House
of Connelly" at High Point.
Mr. PefFer declared afterwards: "I
was delighted with the production.
Please congratulate all the members
of the company for me and tell them
their performance was worth coming
down all the way from -New York to
see." He was in , Chapel Hill for the
Regional Theater Festival last spring
