Yes, I agree completely. Someone told me he was really good and I believe that based on his bio. Have you ever seen him act?

@hhusted Can it be you don't actually know that Stephen Sondheim is a writer and not an actor? Did you not say you read his bio?

That's great news, but am I weird for thinking poor Henry Miller? He hardly has a say on getting the slip seeing as he's dead.

Haha. Henry Miller's great, but he isn't really a dramatist - is he? I always thought he was known just for his rather salacious novels...

@JenMac, ajadeidealist Well I don't know which Henry Miller the article intended to mention, but we also have an Arthur Miller, US playwright pin-up and husband of Marilyn Monroe. Did they really name a theater after H Miller and not one after A Miller, or do you think that was an error in the article?

@Uraniumfish: Sorry, I meant writer. I was thinking about a part my girlfriend played in recently and confused that with Stephen.

@Ajadedidealist: The Henry Miller spoken about regarding the theater was an actor, director, and producer.

@Everybody: It is interesting what I found. Here are some websites about Henry Miller.

Notice in the websites there apparently was two Henry Millers:
