A native Kansan I have a BA (Math and Theatre) and MA (Theatre). I was working on a PhD in Theatre when IBM sniffed my math background and lured me away with money enough to feed my (then two) children. Nevertheless I've been active in theatre all my life--having directed sixty-eight productions (everything from opera in Poughkeepsie to Mrozek in Woodstock to musical melodrama in Germany) and I've acted in ninety others. (As Daddy Warbucks in "Annie" I let 13 little girls shave my head.)  I've served on play-selection committees for several small companies for decades.  Now that I'm retired I don't have that eight-to-five distraction and can focus a bit more.  One of my plays, "The Counting of the Heads", was chosen to be presented at the Creative Nations First Storytellers Festival in Bouilder.
I've regularly reviewed theatre and opera in St. Louis for KDHX since 1991 and for BWW since 2014.
