About me

Introduction	After graduation from high school, I went on to many years of college and received several degrees including a B.A. in French from Newcomb College of Tulane University, an M.A. in Theatre also from Tulane, an M.F.A. in Acting from Ohio University and a Ph.D. in Theatre History from UCLA. Some highlights of my career include 18 years as Professor of Speech and Drama, Loyola University; founder of the Southern Repertory Theatre, and serving as its Artistic Director for 15 years, and a Fulbright Senior Specialist Program Fellowship awarded for five years incrementally beginning May of 2001. Along the way I also found time to write a college textbook: The Actor's Checklist: A Guide for Creating the Complete Character. All along my dream was to write plays full time. Fifteen of my plays have been accepted and are available through Samuel French, Inc. I also enjoy writing novels and am working on three, all at various stages of completion. Obviously, I enjoy writing like my plays and novels to be read. This carnival book was threaded between my play and novel writings as I wanted to honor my roots, and keep New Orleans fresh in my mind by updating my college thesis.
