A Life in Words and Theater
Aside from writing, my principal activities are pocket billiards, reading history books and novels, watching the History Channel, the National Geographic Channel, the Science Channel, college football, and watching buskers and street performers on YouTube.
I was active in college theater and had the following roles:
- Ernest in Impromptu, by Tad Mosel
- Bottom in Midsummer Night's Dream, by William Shakespeare
- Juan in Yerma, by Garcia Lorca
- Jeeter Lester in Tobacco Road, by Erskine Caldwell
- The lead role in The Dictionary, by Dalton Eddleman
(Can't find information on the play and don't remember the character's name.)
In 1991, I was the principal founder of The Black Rose Theatre Company, an award winning community theatre still in operation. I believe that in the first year, I attended every rehearsal and every performance of every play, and of course every cast party.
