Donald L. Brooks' acting career took place during the '60s and early '70s -- his appearances in controversial productions were often censored by critics and members of AEA for their nudity. Mr. Brooks created a body of
work as an actor that is considered ground-breaking in terms of freedom of expression. His final appearance in a performance of this gemre was in Euripides "Medea" as the Messenger in 1977. After a 15-year absence in
the theatre as an actor, he appeared in several notable roles at Theater for the New City and elsewhere, including that of Adolf Hitler in David Willinger's production of "Jim the Lionhearted". The presentation here is one
of career review and is no indication of a desire to be engaged in a theatrical presentation as an actor. However, Mr. Brooks performs Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" annually at the Village Halloween Costume
Ball Cabaret Theatre at TNC, and last appeared in his own musical play "Zombies on Parade" as the ancient pedagogue Professor Z.
