Holroyd, David W.

Holroyd began his investigation and compilation of materials regarding the King-Coit School and Children's Theatre in the fall of 1970 under the supervision of Dr. Jed Davis at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. The material compiled was for an independent children's theatre study with Davis.

For the project, Holroyd began a correspondence with Dorothy Coit, the co-founder of the theatre, who provided most of the information and original ephemera in Holroyd's papers. Holroyd also solicited information from Elizabeth Coit, Dorothy's sister, the actress Jane Wyatt and her mother, theatre critic Euphemia Van Rensselar Wyatt, Ellen Rodman and others. Holroyd's correspondence was utilized by Rodman when she was writing her doctoral dissertation on this theatre.
