Allen Barton is one of the most popular and richest Playwright who was born on May 18, 1968 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.
In the mid-late 1990s, Barton was associated with Scientology, and acted in many of their in-house films under the Golden Era Productions banner. His last course completion was in 2000, and he appears to have had no activity with the group since then. In 2012, he became more of an outspoken critic, as he took on the movement’s “disconnection” policy, which affected Milton Katselas during his life and came to interfere with Barton’s own relationship with his piano teacher Mario Feninger. He was interviewed in 2012 for Lawrence Wright’s book about Scientology, “Going Clear.”
After graduating from Harvard University in 1990, Barton relocated to Los Angeles and began his studies as an actor at the Beverly Hills Playhouse (BHP). Over the next 18 years, he completed apprenticeships as a director and teacher under Milton Katselas, BHP’s founder. Simultaneously with his artistic training, he began working part-time for BHP in 1993, rapidly ascending to become CFO in 1997 and then the school’s youngest ever CEO in 2003. He began teaching for BHP in 2002, had a class under his own name in 2005, and taught alongside Katselas starting in 2007 up until Katselas’ death in October 2008. Katselas bequeathed BHP ownership to Barton, who still teaches at the school and oversees its operations, including expansion to both New York and San Francisco. He started the BHPs free-theatre concept, Project X, which presents free performances of established plays acted by BHP students.
