History
Johnny Simons' professional theater career has included work as playwright, stage director, choreographer, and teacher, as well as performance work as an actor, mime and dancer. In 1977, he co-founded the Hip Pocket Theatre with his wife Diane, and composing partner Douglas Balentine. This company remains a thriving ensemble theater - internationally-recognized for its uniquely original work (many written by Simons), as well as playwrights and international theater works rarely produced in the region.
