Edward Lee Cornett
Writer, Actor, Director
He got the "bug" in high school and continued on from there. He attended Ohio University for Theater and then moved on to CSU in Cleveland Ohio to earn a BA in dramatic art. He trained with J.J. Garry, Jr., artistic director of the Playhouse Square Association as well as Richard Oberlin, then Director of the Cleveland Playhouse. His acting passion and career was sidelined while attending Ohio University to earn his medical degree. However he continued to stay in "the game" by performing in "The Normal Heart" at the Cleveland Playhouse under the direction of J.J. Garry Jr with William Rhys, then Director of the Cleveland Playhouse following the death of Richard Oberlin. He currently works as an actor and emergency medicine physician.
