Dale Wasserman has served the theatre for over 50 years. In earlier days he roamed America as a hobo, riding freight trains and thereby avoiding any formal education whatsoever. At nineteen he gravitated into the theatre where he cut his teeth on every conceivable job - stage manager, lighting designer, director and producer among them. At age 33 he walked off the Broadway musical he was directing, abruptly deciding to become a writer. Since then, he has produced a continuous body of work for the theatre, film and television. His MAN OF LA MANCHA was a multiple Tony-winner and among the longest-running Broadway musicals of all time. ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, also a tony-winner, played to packed houses for 4 years in New York and 5 years in San Francisco leading, of course, to the famous film. Dale's many other credits include screenplays for THE VIKINGS, CLEOPATRA and A WALK WITH OVE AND DEATH, as well as countless TV dramas.
