As a filmmaker, his work has been broadcast on PBS, exhibited theatrically, and selected for 87 international film festivals (winning at 30). As a theatre producer and playwright (both on Broadway and off), his work has garnered 31 nominations (winning 11) from the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Obie, Drama League, Lortel, Blackburn Prize and Touring Broadway awards organizations, while landing on Time Out NY’s year-end “Best in Theatre” list on 4 different occasions.

With Golda’s Balcony (which opened at the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway on Oct. 15), MET has two hits based on the lives of renowned historical figures. Its first offering this season, Hank Williams: Lost Highway, about the troubled country singer and composer, was hailed and quickly transferred following an extended run. It is currently playing the Little Shubert Off- Broadway. (In fact, the runaway success of MET’s first two shows caused the nonprofit to postpone its third selection until the (2004–05) season.)
