Will has been a Bay Area actor most of his life, beginning as a young man in the early 1950’s up until his most recent performance in The Lyons at the Aurora Theatre. He has acted in all the major Bay Area theaters and many of the smaller regional theaters in a variety of roles where he is a highly regarded actor. Will’s work has been acknowledged by Bay Area Critics Awards several times and also for the Dean Goodman Lifetime Achievement Award. He has appeared in a number of world premiere plays by many (now) well-known playwrights where he originated the roles he played, most notably in Sam Shepard’s award-winning Fool For Love at the Magic Theatre that transferred to New York in the 1980’s. Another milestone is Will’s history is here at MTC. He not only acted and directed at MTC in the early years but also was Artistic Director twice. Will was a key player in establishing MTC as a professional theatre company as it evolved from a community theatre (along with his wife, Susan Brashear who is now a Co-Director of TAM High’s drama program- CTE). As a playwright, Will’s plays have been produced locally at San Jose Stage, the Phoenix Theatre and the Shelton Theatre. He continues to write, direct, act and produce. Will is happy to be returning to MTC after all these years, to perform with this distinguished cast. He’d like to thank his family for their patience and support and to express gratitude to the many who have followed his work over the years.
