I Certainly Had My Years

I Grew Up In A Theater Family. My Father Was A Regional Theater Classical Repertory Producer. He Created Shakespeare Festivals. He Produced All Of Shakespeare's Plays, Mostly In Shakespeare Festivals In Ohio. One Of Them, The Great Lakes Theater Festival In Cleveland, Is Still Going. So I Grew Up Not Wanting To Be An Actor, Not Wanting To Go Into The Family Business.

One Of The Things That Gives Me A Lot Of Pleasure About Both The Solo Show And The Book Is That It Tells People About My Dad. He Really Was An Important Man. He Was A Kind Of Pioneer Of Regional Theater. He Was The First American Producer To Ever Produce All Of Shakespeare Plays.

What You Aspire To On A Sitcom Is The Feeling Of Live Comedy.

Look At The Darkest Hit Musicals - Cabaret, West Side Story, Carousel - They Are Exuberant Experiences. They Send You Out Of The Theater Filled With Music
