 In 1907 he and [[Harm Oost]] founded the [[Afrikaans-Hollandse Toneelvereniging]] ("Afrikaans-Dutch Theatrical Society") in Pretoria. He was chairman of the [[AHTV]] from its founding till 1910, then Honorary chairman. Through the [[AHTV]], Preller also played a significant role in the establishment of several satellite branches in the smaller towns of the then Transvaal. Sometime after the [[AHTV]] disbanded in 1918, Preller became the chairman of the [[Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniging en Toneelskool]] established by [[Danie Smal]]. Throughout his life he strove to establish a national Afrikaans/South African theatre. He utilized his journalist role to promote and support Afrikaans theatre through his excellent critical writing on plays and theatrical issues. His widely quoted introduction to Ou Daniel by Harm Oost is a classic example, while his editorial and critical support of [[Paul de Groot]]'s first major production, ''[[Huis Toe]]'' in 1925 set up the start of professionalism in Afrikaans theatre.
-However he also contributed to theatre more directly as writer and translator. ''[[Charley's Aunt|Piet s'n Tante]]'' (19**), his translation of [[Charley's Aunt]] ([[Brandon Thomas]]), was as popular in [[Afrikaans]] as it ever was in English and later became a successful film. Other adaptations and translations of European works include ''[[Les Héritiers Rabourdin]]'' ("The Rabourtin Heirs") by Émile Zola, translated as ''[[Erasmus s'n Erfgename]]'' ("Erasmus's Heir") in 1924.
