“My father was a man of the theater. I grew up in a theater family. As a young man, as a boy, I gypsied around with my siblings and my parents to, like, eight different towns, went to eight different schools. All those things were extremely formative, and I think that's what happens.” ThinkingMenDifferentHappensSchoolYoungFatherParentBoysGrewGrew UpTheaterTownsEightYoung ManSiblingMy SiblingsTheater Family Author:John Lithgow
“Having grown up in the theater family, having done a huge amount of acting from a very little boy to precocious teenager in Shakespeare festivals that my father produced, I went off to college and fell in with the theater gang. I was already an experienced actor. I became a kind of campus star. I heard all this applause and laughter.” KindLittlesDoneActorsFatherStarsActingBoysHeardCollegeHugeAmountLaughterTheaterTeenagerFestivalsGangApplauseLittle BoysCampusPrecociousOff To CollegeTheater Family Author:John Lithgow
“I grew up in a theater family. My father was a regional theater classical repertory producer. He created Shakespeare festivals. He produced all of Shakespeare's plays, mostly in Shakespeare festivals in Ohio. One of them, the Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland, is still going. So I grew up not wanting to be an actor, not wanting to go into the family business.” StillsPlayActorsFatherGrewGrew UpTheaterProducersLakesFestivalsOhioClevelandGreat LakesShakespeare's PlaysTheater Family Author:John Lithgow
