I have directed many plays, off and off-off Broadway, was the Artistic Director of the Theatre of Living Arts (Philadelphia), and directed elsewhere in the USA and Europe.

I’ve written plays and published a memoir: The Funhouse: Memory, Magic, and Mayhem. Other books include  Da Capo: Selected Writings 1967-2004; Cool Fire; Thoughts in the Moment; Just What Is.

In 2015 I began painting in the art studio in our barn where my mother-in-law Enid Cutler, before her passing, had painted. As she had left much of her paints et al, I began to play and I have found myself absorbed in the process of intuitively creating by hand where once I had relied exclusively on (in) my mind.

There’s a saying I wrote on the studio wall: “Love the Energy-Energize the Love.” That is my aim and destination. The results perhaps reveal insights, but of course, that will depend on the viewer’s own frame of mind. The psyche, with its inexhaustible complexities, remains a wellspring of explorations. 

I grew up in a family of artists who awakened my imagination at an early age. I’m fortunate to be married to one, my wife Kristen.
