Proudest Accomplishments
Obtaining and purchasing our building on Accord Park Drive in Norwell - a difficult task that culminated in realizing my dream of having our own theatre, which could become a center for performing arts, and home for our educational programs.

Another great accomplishment was when my partners and I wrote and produced the award winning “Gloryland, The America Show,” which has been staged for more than 30,000 people since 1990, and won The Moss Hart Award for Best Production in New England.

Perfect Day
It would be a beautiful summer day, starting with pancakes on my back porch. It would involve my family, friends, and pets, and include going to the beach and eating great seafood.

The end of a perfect day would be being completely blown away by an outstanding musical I have worked on with my partners, Jordie and Michael. There is nothing like the thrill of really great live theater.

Looking Forward
I look forward to many more wonderful collaborations - directing, set designing, and hopefully writing more original works - which for me are the most all-encompassing and rewarding of my creative endeavors.

Pass it on
Do what you love, love what you do. Be passionate about something and it will be infectious. Surround yourself with other positive, dedicated people and most important, be yourself. That last bit of advice was from my friend and first Company Theatre Board of Director’s president, Don Messinger, and he was so right.

What my partners and I will pass along when the time has finally come is our non-profit theater.
