Playwright
A stage veteran of almost 50 years, Don Goodrum was born in Tennessee
and raised in Mississippi, where he got his first taste of the spotlight as The
King of the Calendar in his second grade play. Don moved onto the church
play circuit and managed to turn a Best Actor win in a One Act Play Festival
into a theatre scholarship to Mississippi College. At MC, Don began writing in
earnest and saw several of his plays produced. After college, Don wound up
married and on the radio, a career choice that kept sharpening his comedic
and writing skills for the next 32 years. Don retired from radio in 2006 and
began teaching high school theatre and writing once again. His short play
Moments Like These has been performed over sixty times around the country
and his one act Techies has been performed over twenty times. He is retired

granddaughters and a grandson, all of whom spend most of their time arguing
about which of them loves him best.
