   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Koch, Frederick (Henry) (1877–1944)

US folklorist and educator. While teaching English at the University of North Dakota (1905–18), he organized a drama society of students and faculty to produce original plays on regional themes. He then went to the University of North Carolina (1918–44), where, in addition to his classes in drama and playwriting, he organized the Carolina Players, which presented dramas based on folk material and became a training ground for such writers as Thomas Wolfe and Paul Green. Through the establishment of the Bureau of Community Drama in 1918, he promoted school and community theatre throughout North Carolina. He also encouraged the outdoor pageant plays that Paul Green would make famous. Koch was born in Covington, Kentucky.
