Raised in San Diego with degrees from San Diego State University (B.A. in Speech and Drama, ’68; M.A. in Drama, ’73) and the University of California at Santa Barbara (Ph.D. in Dramatic Arts, ’81), Michael Greenwald has taught Theatre, English, and Speech at Texas A&M since 1985. He has directed over 80 plays in educational, professional, and community theater, including Twelfth Night, Othello, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (in China in 1989). He has taught in London, China, and Italy and has traveled extensively, thanks largely to his travel agent-wife, Demetra. In addition to contributing numerous articles to theater and Shakespeare journals, he is the author of a book on John Barton’s directing career with the Royal Shakespeare Career (1985), and the lead author-editor of the newly published Longman Anthology of Drama and Theater: A Global Perspective, the largest collection of international plays under one cover. He is a member of the Texas A&M Faculty Senate and the Texas A&M Golf Course Advisory Committee.
His son, Sean, is a student at Texas A&M University.
