He is a produced and published playwright, and was awarded the Zornio

Gazette. He has worked throughout the US as a professional actor,
director, and designer for such companies as the Texas Shakespeare
Festival, the Maine Shakespeare Theatre at Monmouth, the National

directed and produced films, documentaries, and television programs for
broadcast on PBS. His short film, GRACE, received a showing in New York
City. David has been author and co-author of several articles on acting
and other related topics. His most recent article was published by the
British Journal of Psychodrama and Sociodrama. He has made numerous
presentations at conferences and workshops both nationally and
internationally in subjects ranging from "active Playwrighting" to "new
clown" work. Before joining the UNH Faculty in 1996, David was the
Director of Theatre at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. David is a
