Stephen R. Coar has been a teller of stories all his life. One of seven kids, he took to the dinner table spotlight most evenings, telling tale after tale. As an adult he has been heavily involved in live theatre-acting, directing, and writing children's plays for the theatre he helped begin, the Ritz Theatre in Oaklyn-the most successful theatre in southern New Jersey. A longtime member of the National Storytellers League and the New Jersey Storytellers League, he also volunteers a few hours each month to read some of his original short stories. Interview with Stephen Coar By David Kempf Tell us how you became involved in the theater?
