Before Gallaway became the first director of theater at the University of Alabama, she was a friend and fellow graduate student alongside Williams at the University of Iowa. He acknowledged the author's considerable influence on his own work, writing in the foreword, "Quite possibly I derived more from this friendship than I did from any of the actual courses that I undertook, for Marian Gallaway was one of those persons who lived and breathed theatre and somehow managed to infect her associates with her own religious excitement about it."
