“It’s nice to have some recognition after a very tough year,” says Frank. “I was selected for a Marquis’ student Who’s Who back in my high school and college years, so it’s especially gratifying to be recognized again all these years later for my 2nd act in moving from journalism to theater.”

“Mr. Frank has reinvented himself as a live theater owner and dramatist, writing and producing five of his own plays in five years, as well as producing, directing and acting in scores of other plays.
