About the Author:

Gerald Freedman began his career working for Columbia Pictures in Hollywood and assistant directing Broadway musicals, including the original production of West Side Story for Jerome Robbins. He went on to direct many classic and new works for producer Joseph Papp, including the world premiere of the musical Hair as the inaugural production of the Public Theater. Over the course of his six decade career, he directed plays, operas, and musicals on and off Broadway, regionally, and around the world. He won an Obie Award, and became the first American to direct at Shakespeare’s Globe in London. He served as Artistic Director of the New York Shakespeare Festival (now known as the Public Theater / Shakespeare in the Park), Stratford’s American Shakespeare Theater, Cleveland’s Great Lakes Theater, and as co-Artistic Director of the Acting Company with John Houseman. He taught at the Juilliard School, Northwestern University, Yale University, and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where he was Dean of the School of Drama for twenty-one years, becoming Dean Emeritus in 2012. Isaac Klein is a director and writer of plays and musicals. He is a graduate of Gerald Freedman’s Directing program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, class of 2006. At school, Freedman directed him in Floyd Collins, and Isaac assistant directed Freedman’s productions of Three Sisters and Beckett’s Happy Days. Isaac-Klein.com.
