I started out on way-Off Broadway in Samuel Beckett's World Premiere of WAITING FOR GODOT at the Orange Grove Playhouse in Coral Gables, Florida, along with Tom Ule and Burt Lar.

To this day I don't know what that play was about.

Then I was cast in Tennessee William's new play SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH in New York.

I remember during rehearsals he would sit in the alleyway by the stage door on a milk box with a little lamp and a portable typewriter doing rewrites.                                             One day I was waiting to follow the actor before me, but they rushed me onto the stage, told me Tennesse Williams had cut his role so they are going with my part.                              I said rather loud, 'If he keeps this up I'll be out here doing a monologue.'

I guess he heard me.

I was also on Off-Broadway in Bernard Shaw's THE SHEWING UP OF BLANCO POSNER with Will Geer.
