Storz after the renovation and expansion of the Omaha Community Playhouse in 1986. Because of the renovation, the orientation of the building and parking lot had changed, and the sculpture was designed to direct patrons to the entrance as well as to be decorative. A companion piece, "The Actors' Quest," appears on the north side of the playhouse. IAS files include excerpts from a playhouse publication entitled "The Actors' Procession and The Actors' Quest: the Storz Sculptures and their Stories," 1993 and a related article from the Omaha World Herald, Oct. 25, 1989.
