From Muddy Creek to Long Leaf Pine

Chronicling a remarkable life, the narrative follows a man from his childhood in rural North Carolina to a distinguished career in theatre history and literature. He becomes the founder and artistic director of a professional theatre and serves as academic dean of fine arts at two universities. His contributions to the arts earn him a lifetime achievement award in drama, culminating in his recognition as Ambassador Extraordinary of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, North Carolina's highest civilian honor, in 2013.
