Artistic Director of the
African-American Shakespeare Company
"A lot of the credit, says Enoch King, goes to director L. Peter Callender:
'He’s very accommodating. We call him an actor’s director. I mean, he’s an actor,
so he completely understands our processes, and he’s always respectful of them.'”
