Originally from New Jersey, he came to Los Angeles many years ago to work with the LA Free Shakespeare Company at the Anson Ford Theatre where he first crossed paths with David Hunt Stafford. Larry later earned his MFA in Direct- ing from the California Institute of the Arts, received a Dra- maLogue Award for directing the world premiere adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Stories for Children at the Hudson Theatre and has directed numerous productions at The Lonny Chapman where he serves as Co-Artistic Director.

His short film entitled David Proshker has aired several times on KCET and other public broadcast stations. As an actor, some of his favorite roles have included the title role in Tuesdays With Morrie at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, Edgar in King Lear, opposite George Coulouris, Meyer Lansky in a television movie called Nitti: The Story of Enforcer, opposite Anthony LaPaglia, Kit WHO’S WHO Carson in The Time of Your Life, opposite Lonny Chapman and Sandy in Jon Robin Baitz’ The Paris Letter. JOHN PATRICK (Playwright): He was born John Patrick Goggin in Louisville, Kentucky. His parents soon abandoned him and he spent a delinquent youth in foster homes and boarding schools. At age 19, he secured a job as an announcer at KPO Radio in San Francisco, California, marrying Mil- dred Legaye in 1925. He wrote over one thousand scripts for the Cecil and Sally radio program (originally titled The Funniest Things), broadcast be- tween 1928 and 1933. The show's sole actors were Patrick and Helen Troy. In 1937, Patrick wrote adaptations for NBC's Streamlined Shakespeare se- ries, guest-starring Helen Hayes. Produced on a tight budget, his first play, Hell Freezes Over, directed by Joshua Logan, had a brief run on Broadway in 1935. However, the credit opened the door for him as a Hollywood scriptwriter. In 1942, a second play, The Willow and I, was produced with Martha Scott and Gregory Peck in the starring roles. Before its first night, Patrick had volunteered for the American Field Service providing medical services in support of the British Army fighting World War II. He served with Montgomery's Eighth Army in Egypt and subsequently saw action in India and Burma where the ideas for his next play The Hasty Heart were germi- nated. Patrick completed the play on the ship that returned him to the US after the war, and it proved a great commercial success, being adapted for the screen in 1949, with Ronald Reagan as the star, and for TV in 1983. His next two plays, The Curious Savage (1950) and Lo and Behold (1951), fared less well, but it was his 1953 stage adaptation of Vern J. Sneider's novel The Teahouse of the August Moon that marked the height of his fame, winning both the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for drama. He adapted the play for the screen in 1956 and for the musical stage, under the title Lovely Ladies, Kind Gentlemen, in 1970. In 1954 he wrote the screen- play for the movi e Three Coins in the Fountain and in 1955, he adapted a well-known autobiographical book, A Many-Splendoured Thing by Han Suyin, for the movie Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing. His next play, Good as Gold (1957), was less well received, and most of the rest of his ca- reer was dedicated to a series of successful screenwriting assignments. Following his success with The Hasty Heart, Patrick bought the 65 acres estate, Hasty Hill at Suffern, New York. He later moved to Saint Thomas, United States Virgin Islands. On November 7, 1995, the 90-year-old play- wright was found dead in his room. His death was ruled a suicide. DON SOLOSAN (Stage Manager): Over the past 10 years, Don has worked at Theatre 40 as a video designer (Violet Sharp, Apple), set builder and painter (The Bat, Seven Stories), designing paper props (Double Door, En- gaging Shaw) and stagehand (Dreams of the Washer King, Remem- brance).

It was during the run of The Bat. Later, I became a stage hand on The Bat, and went on to work as a stage hand helping Dorothy Sinclair with wardrobe on The Last Romance; the jazz hands peeking from behind the wall in Mrs. Mannerly; and the very mentioned Maude the maid in Perfect Timing – although never heard from and seldom seen. The regulars to Theatre 40 know me as tend- ing the box office. I am very honored to have been asked to be assistant director for a fourth time (Mr. Pim; 26 Pebbles; Bus Stop) and to be work- ing with such an esteem ed great & caring director. This is a fun & profes- sional cast that I know will shine yet another spotlight on Theatre 40.
