It would gradually be released to different blocks of public TV affiliates around the US over the next two years, the first batch of broadcasts - including Boston, Chicago, Houston, Pittsburgh, San Francisco , New Orleans, and Durham, NC - taking place on November 8, 1961. The program was hosted by a young Frank Perry; each episode began with his brief interview of the guest playwright, an excerpt of whose work would then be staged in bare-bones fashion by a young director of the playwright's choosing, followed in the end by a conversation between all three.
