Original from small-town Alabama, Rex has been a fan of live theatre since seeing his first play as a teenager, a community theatre production of Mister Roberts. He frequently attended the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, then based near his home in Anniston, when that theatre company was first gaining prominence as one of the most well-respected in its genre. Since leaving Alabama in the mid- 80s, he has lived in the Northeast, New England, Middle-Atlantic, and Desert Southwest regions before finally settling in Central Texas. Wherever he lived, Rex has always enjoyed the experience of onstage live performance. Upon arriving in Texas in 2016, he has been impressed with the scope and quality of Austin-area productions and introduces newcomers to the enjoyment of live theatre through his Meetup site, Austin Audience. Rex has played keyboards in local Alabama bands, has been a radio producer and on-air voice, and has written two novels. Professionally, he is a Corporate Accountant, a REALTOR®, a rideshare driver, and a Notary Public.
Two of the greatest novels in American literature were published in a span of less than three years in the late 1930s, and comparisons between them are unavoidable.
EL PUBLICO is a play written around 1930 by poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca which was lost, all of which has never been found, and which remained unperformed until 50 years following the author's death in 1936.
