...During 30 years as a newspaperman," said Reporter Don Whitehead, "home had been wherever I happened to hang my hat." In World War II he hung his hat in hundreds of huts and tents, covered the front wherever war burned hottest: in Africa, Sicily, Italy, Belgium, France and Germany. He hung it in Korea in 1950, won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage, won another in 1953 for his stories on President-elect Eisenhower's trip to the Korean front.

But we also need to learn how to recognize these visions, and how to transform them into experience that will have both beauty and meaning for our lives...

It will produce new plays and some contemporary classics of Shaw, Ibsen, and Chekov. Whitehead hopes to model the Lincoln Square Theatre after the East Berlin Brecht Theatre.
