The Author - Marc Smith (1934-2011)
The author, ordinary man extraordinaire
Smith's story brings the listener intimately, and at times painfully, close to one man and his family. Born in Massachusetts in 1934, Marc P. Smith came into the world at the bottom of the Depression. He has lived life through the chaos of World War II, the cold war, McCarthyism, Vietnam, the 1960's cultural revolution, and the fall of Soviet Communism.
His life crossed paths with officials of the repressive Syngman Rhee regime in South Korea, remnants of the top hierarchy of the Third Reich, the Ku Klux Klan, on and off stage show biz powerhouses, and the social and political maker/breakers in his struggle to create and maintain a professional regional theatre for a quarter century in his hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts. It is a journey to remember.
Shaped by events and a deep knowledge of his history, Marc offers an exciting account of his family and their journey.
