If My Life Was A Play, Age

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.

It's A Very Tough Time For The Playwright. Broadway Has Become Almost A Musical Comedy Theme Park With All These Long-running Shows.

Any Character You Play, You're On His Side. You Do Have The Third Eye That Looks At What An Appalling Creature He Is, But You Have To Look At What's Good About Him.

Time Sneaks Up On You Like A Windshield On A Bug.

I Consider Myself A Very Lucky Actor That, Approaching 60, I'm Still Employed And Employable.
