I owe a lot of my appreciation of acting and creativity to the wonderful William Inge who wrote some of the greatest Midwestern plays of the late 1940s, 50s and 60s. (I love Tennessee Williams too. He once said he wished he could be as genuine a writer as Inge). Quirky stage comedies like See How they Run by Philip King, Everything by Frank McCourt, Practically everything by Arthur Miller, She's Come Undone-Wally Lamb, everything by Philippa Gregory, everything by Fannie Flagg, Dubliners-James Joyce, We were the Mulvaneys-Joyce Carol Oates, Mists of Avalon-Marion Zimmer Bradley, A Wrinkle in Time-Madeleine L'Engle, An Old-Fashioned Girl, Little Men and Little Women-Louisa M. Alcott, Sense and Sensibility and Northhanger Abbey, Emma, Wuthering Heights, The Reader-Schlink, The Elephant Man-Bernard Pomerance, Acting-Boleslavsky, Uncle Vanya. I don't think I have enough space to write which plays are my favorites of William Inge and William Shakespeare here. I've worked in plays of both and love their writing.
Elijah P. Lovejoy, Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, Dolley Madison, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, JFK, Oprah, my mom, dad, my grandfather, my brother, my sisters, my family.
