Biography
John also teaches communications at the University of Pittsburgh.
As a company member of the Western Stage of Salinas, CA I was commissioned to adapt John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row for the National Steinbeck Festival’s 50th Anniversary celebration of that novel's publication.
Most recently I completed a commission from Beacon College, the first accredited institution of higher learning designed to serve students with learning disabilities, for the book of a musical entitled Normal-C. A story about three special needs teenagers who face the dilemma of whether they should give up all that they are for a chance to be 'normal.'
As a freshman student, the first time I walked into the amazing South Campus theatre. Chills.
My courses involve the human experience; always in flux and ever changing. The world is my classroom.
I am the father of triplets.
