is an award-winning Actor and Director. Missed Communications is his third endeavor into playwriting. His previous plays, Hang Up Your Cleats and The Next Audition, premiered at American Theatre of Actors in 2024. This play was written with these four friends in mind. He’s extremely grateful they were all available and willing to do this play. As always, Ken would like to think his wife Phyliss of over 30 years, for the unwavering support of this crazy endeavor. During the writing of this play he heard that a very dear friend had received a terminal cancer diagnosis. Part of her story has been incorporated into the play. Her family is in need of help and if you have desire and ability to help, it will be gratefully appreciated.
