Background

When William "Bill" Esper was a young man, he saw Eli Wallach and Maureen Stapleton in a touring production of "The Rose Tattoo" ... " [I] was so struck by the acting ... [A] fter the play was over, I decided to go around the corner to get a cup of coffee so I could think about it some more. I walked into a little drugstore, and Eli was sitting there having a bite to eat ... he talked to the actor [and] Wallach told him he had studied at Sanford Meisner's Neighborhood Playhouse ... [A] fter college he moved to New York and began studying with the teacher [Meisner] who was famous for his exercises in repeated dialogue ... "I started directing. I started coaching people ... " [I] lost my love of performing." [ [http://www.backstage.com/bso/news_reviews/features/feature_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002878362&imw=Y Backstage NY feature on Studio] ]
