April 12, 1977 — forty years ago today — my first full-length play “The Hunter” was produced at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Rarig Center Experimental Theatre. It was in partial fulfillment of my MFA.

The one thing I’ve learned in the last four decades is that I learn something new with everything I write and that at the ripe old age of 64, I am still an “emerging” playwright.
