Recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant in 1984.

In 1989, was nominated for four Tony Awards for "Largely New York": as author of a Best Play nominee, Best Actor (Play), Best Director (Play) and, with collaborator Kimi Okada, Best Choreographer. In 1999, his show "Fool Moon" won a Special Tony Award for Live Theatrical Presentation.

Along with Robin Williams, appeared in the music video for Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

This play is truly a great invention, and we're having a great time doing it eight times a week.

We constantly run lines together before every show too, and then there's a long, traditionally long, story to tell the audience every show. Today, we're doing it twice.

Being nominated is a great thrill, and we like to say that all four of us were nominated, which means that our director, Anthony Page was nominated four times.

It's an exhilarating play, and you come off tired, but thrilled.

People keep telling us, that they didn't know when they were booking tickets for it, but afterwards they say that they've had no sense that they were watching an old fashioned play.
