The award-winning writer [[Les Golden]] learned his craft under Ann Woodworth, the distinguished professor of theatre at [[Northwestern University]], and [[Del Close]], the legendary guru of Chicago’s [[Second City]] improvisation nightclub, among others. He has over 100 professional theatre and film credits and is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.
The many references to [[astronomy]] and extraterrestrials in the script result from Les Golden’s second career as an astronomy professor at the [[University of Illinois at Chicago]].
He is also the author of “Never Split Tens,” a screenplay based on the life of the M.I.T. mathematics professor who developed the card counting system at casino blackjack, “[[Murder by Mistletoe]],” a full length murder mystery/comedy, and “The Skull Caper,” a noire script based on [[Del Close]]’s bequeathing his skull to the [[Goodman Theatre]] for use as Yorick in [[Hamlet]].
Bantam/Doubleday provided him a contract for "The Scientific Approach to Creativity: The Techniques of the Chicago School of Improvisational Theatre," based on his work with Del Close, and he is also preparing a humor book, "The Non-Linear Mind of Professor Les Golden," and a book of essays, "The Body Shapes of Extraterrestrials and Other Essays in Science and Math."
