Rob Dames: Playwright
My uncle once asked me: “What’s your major?” I said: “Theater.” He said: “What the hell you going to do with that?” After 3 years as resident director for two theaters, over 30 years as a writer and director in TV and film, and continuing to write plays and musicals that are being produced… As I start my 80s, I would answer him: “Have a helluva good time in life.”
