WINGED Mrs. Fichandler that
the achievement Of this goal,

theater art. is dependent first

she intends to devote the time
that the Foundations grant
win permit her to be detached
from desk duty while keeping
the closest Identification with
overall production taste and
quality.
She could hardly be happier
than to find herself among the
Foundations choices for its
first community theater grants.
AS for Mr.. Schneider and
Mr.. Ball, exclusively identified
with the direction of plays, the
terms of their grants relate
them specifically with Arena.
The former, definitely a
Washington contribution to the
Broadway Theater, first came
into prominence here as a
member of Catholic University's
drama faculty. 1t was from
there. where he directed some
OF. the schools most notable
productions. that he went to
Broadway to stage such sue
cesses as "Anastasia," Re
markable Mr.. Pennypacker"
and "Endgame," together with
the Paris festivals Skin of
Our Teeth" which starred
Helen Hayes and Mary Martin.
At Arena. his major sue
cesses have been The Glass
Menagerie," "Playboy of the
Western World" "a View from
the Bridge" and last seasons
sensational Summer of the
Seventeenth DOLL" Arena is
definitely one Of the commit
ments under the grant which
will also see him working with
such other community roper
tory groups as Toronto's Crest
Theater, Houston's Alley, San
Francisco's Actors Workshop
and Milwuakee's Fred Miller.
Mr.. Ball. whose first Arena
production is the current popu-

is committed under the terms
of his grant to work in sub

Arenas direct participation
In the program is in the grant
to Mrs. Zelda Fichandler, its
managing director since It's
founding in 1850. The other
awards are those to Alan
Schneider. formerly Of WASH
ington and a busy guest direc-
tor at Arena through the years,
and William Ball, who has
staged the theater,s current
production, Turgenev,s "a
Month In the Country" y
Together, the three grants
reflect Arenas stature in COM
munity repertory theater. the
area to which the foundation
extends its encouragement. In
cidentally, this same degree Of
support is being offered to
poets. novelists, musical artists,
painters, sculptors and play
wrights. these involved in
grants which will be announced
within the next three weeks.
Statistically mirroring Arenas
prestige in the Foundations
decision Is that the 10 grant,
winning directors were chosen
from 1872 nominated nationally
by 367 professionals active in
the American theater as al
whole.
OF the three grants, the one
which naturally will be most
intensively used for Arenas de-
velopment will be Mrs. Fich-
andler's.
1t viii be employed, she says,
In two ways: First, to free her
to seek a permanent home for
Arena; second, to improve the
quality and permanence of the
acting company by the pay
nlent Of larger salaries.
Most pressing and endleSsly
harrassing Of the problems be-
fore Arenas attractive Found
ing Mother is a permanent
building for Washington's rep
ertory company.
It is housed at present, and
cheerfully, in the former Heu-
rich brewery's hospitality hall
ct Goth and D streets, north
west. This is a comfortable,
efficient, generously proper
toned theater. Unfortunately,
1t is haunted by the specter of
time to come, not past, in that
its site is eventually marked
for the National Capitals
Cultural Center or highway
network.
Involved constantly in adj
fninistrative detail, including
the economic necessity to d.
rect personally two or three
productions yearly, Mrs. FL
chandler has lacked time to
devote herself to the vital mat
ter Of finding q permanent
home for the theater.
