who founded 2 Shakespeare festivals.

c.) Graduated from Harvard (History and Literature)

 (BTW, this lettering is getting waaaaay too boring,

and John has done waaaay too much to 

adequately catalogue, 

including work in films, on television, and on stage,

and he is the writer of several best selling books,

so from here on out, we are on RANDOM!)
