More on Daniel Sullivan
Description from Wikipedia:
Daniel Sullivan (born June 11, 1940) is an award-winning American theatre and film director and playwright.
Born in Wray, Colorado, Sullivan was raised in San Francisco, where he graduated from San Francisco State University. In 1963, he began his professional career as an actor at the city's Actor's Workshop, where he remained for two years.
Sullivan worked as both an actor and director with the Lincoln Center Repertory Company in the late 1960s and 70s. After two years as Resident Director of the Seattle Repertory Theatre, he assumed the position of Artistic Director in 1981, serving until 1997. It was there that he directed the first production of his own play, Inspecting Carol.
Sullivan has forged successful working relationships with three prominent contemporary American playwrights. He directed Herb Gardner's I'm Not Rappaport at Seattle Rep before staging it off-Broadway, on Broadway, in London's West End production, and for the United States national tour. He reteamed with Gardner to stage Conversations with My Father in Seattle, New York City, and Los Angeles. His first association with Wendy Wasserstein was the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Heidi Chronicles, which he directed at Playwrights Horizons before its transfer to Broadway. The duo later collaborated on An American Daughter and The Sisters Rosensweig. He directed both the Playwrights Horizons production and screen version of Jon Robin Baitz's The Substance of Fire, as well as his play A Fair Country.
In addition to his directing, Sullivan currently holds a professorship teaching acting at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
