Adna Karns was an actor, director, and theater producer who graduated from the Yale School of Drama in 1941. Very little of his career can be found in the Internet record.
What we can find is that he co-produced a Broadway show in 1956, Double in Hearts, starring William Redfield, which was trialed at McCarter Theatre in Princeton during the summer of 1956, and then at the National Theatre in Washington, DC in September. When it opened on Broadway in October, it closed almost immediately.
In 1971, he directed a production of Bus Stop at the Henry Street Settlement. He appears in a 1974 prospectus for the Henry Street Settlement as the key contact for the Theatre for Children program.
