H. Michael Walls (Knobloch) Making his fourth appearance at the Wilma, he has worked with such talents as directors Martin Scorsese, Terry Gilliam, and RSC’s Greg Doran; writers Jason Miller (Pulitzer Prize), Derek Walcott (Nobel Laureate), and Sir Tom Stoppard (Oscar and Tony Awards, thanks to Blanka and Jiri); actors Roscoe Lee Browne, Billy Crudup, Simon Jones, Bruce Willis, Irene Worth, and now David Strathairn (thanks again, Wilma). Not as name-droppable, are the hundreds of other artists whose humor, intelligence, talent, friendship, and dedication have also kept his love of theatre as intense as the day he strolled into Drama 101 nearly 45 years ago. He dedicates this to Sarah and Edie whose lights he sorely misses, and Janice whose love makes everything possible.
