Writer:
Don Goodrum
A stage veteran of almost 50 years, Don Goodrum was born in Tennessee
and raised in Mississippi, where he got his first taste of the spotlight as The
King of the Calendar in his second grade play. Don moved onto the church
play circuit and managed to turn a Best Actor win in a One Act Play Festival
into a theatre scholarship to Mississippi College. At MC, Don began writing in
earnest and saw several of his plays produced. After college, Don wound up
on the radio, a career choice that kept sharpening his comedic and writing
skills for the next 25 years. Don retired from radio in 2006 and began teaching
high school theatre and writing once again. He has seen productions of many
of his plays throughout the US and hopes to see many more. He is retired and
lives in Florida where he is surrounded by his three grown daughters, three
granddaughters, a grandson, various sons-in-law and the (assumed)
adoration of millions.
