BOARS HEAD PLAYER'S STAFF, 1974
Edwards and Hobbs to handle box office, publicity and promotion.
VERBOSE STATEMENT ISSUED BY ODOM
"We consider it a privelege to underwrite this project. Here is an opportunity to develop the creative abilities of our students and to encourage the imagination and skills of the people who are devoting themselves to the arts. We believe that when the bicentennial year arrives these people of the University of Arkansas will have developed a project of such significance as to be outstanding in the nation."
VERBOSE STATEMENT ISSUED BY HART
"We are indeed enthusiastic about its potential for further development in line with our bicentennial projectives (sic) of extending live theatre performances to other communities through a summer touring group. This is also a tremendous opportunity for experimentation with other forms of programming, including music and dance."
