It was the February 1979 production of My Fair Lady that brought John Sullivan to Oak Park and River Forest High School. And the social and academic turnaround related to his experiences during the school's 1981 summer musical, The Sound of Music, keeps him coming back, 30 years later.

(Editor: Art Lynch): My theater instructor in high school recently passed away of Cancer. His mentoring led to a constellation of celebrities, stars, professionals in every aspect of the industry. See also these tributes and links:
