I’ve asked this before, but…
What one teacher will you always feel “changed your life”?
There were several, but the one who stands out will always be Jenny Barthold; Jenny Hankins when I had her in high school. She encouraged my love of theatre and writing, and had it not been for her, I would have missed out on a lot, including getting to know and love the works of Lanford Wilson (see below.) And I can’t forget the Old Professor, who told me I was a better writer than actor. He’s probably right.
