Since I am relatively unknown, I will begin by giving my personal and professional background an introduction. Ed Bullins is the central theme, but, as they say, “much can be learned about a man by knowing the quality of the company that he keeps.” In the late 1950s, after several well-received performances in campus drama group productions, I left the City College of New York and a major in literature and philosophy to pursue an involvement in the professional theater.
