R. Hamilton Wright is a local theatrical treasure with an astonishing 40 productions at ACT Theatre to his credit.

“What is possibly the most remarkable thing about Bob is that he works from a center of kindness and humility. He mades every rehearsal room a joyous adventure and mentors the younger actors with a grace and distinct sense of humor,” says John Langs, ACT’s Artistic Director. “I count myself truly blessed to have the chance to learn from him.”

Check out his ACTShort – it’s a sign (or is it signs?) of the times.
