Biography

Frank Galati won two Tony Awards for his adaptation and direction of Steppenwolf's production of The Grapes of Wrath on Broadway. Although he is known primarily as a director of epic plays and musicals (Steppenwolf's Homebody/Kabul, Broadway's Ragtime) he is an equally adept actor (Steppenwolf's The Drawer Boy) and adaptor (Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay for The Accidental Tourist.) Recently he has directed his adaptation of Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore and appeared in The Tempest. He is also an Associate Director at The Goodman Theatre and Professor of Performance Studies at Northwestern University.
