"Even before going to teach in Europe (and North Africa and the Middle East)in 1956, I was fascinated by theatre history's surviving monuments. During my European tour of duty, and subsequently each summer vacation, I have been able to study many famed theatres and sites, as well as to report on foreign theatre activity and personalities. I have reviewed major music and drama festivals, always relating drama, dance and opera to the theatre tradition."
