This year, from all over the country, America's finest regional theater companies are coming to perform on a new and challenging stage. Your television set.

For a second season, Exxon brings you "Theater in America," a series of plays produced exclusively for television by WNET 13/New York, and hosted by Hal Holbrook.

This year, you'll see seventeen superb plays, including Chekhov's classic comedy-drama, The Seagull; Edmond Rostand's beloved classic Cyrano de Bergerac; Maxim Gorky's dramatic Enemies; and Forget Me Not Lane, an original work by Peter Nichols.

We at Exxon happily invite you to invite a great performance into your living room, starting now on your Public Broadcasting Service station.
