Then I worked my way up through prime-time series and then movies for TV, features and now the theater. Other people could do music and lyrics much better than I, but I was pretty good at those scripts.Ī: I started in animation at Hanna-Barbera, "Scooby Doo" and all that. Then when I came down to Los Angeles, I began doing scripts for TV and discovered I felt so much more comfortable doing it. I wrote I think three shows in college, at the University of Washington. What I wanted to do more than anything was write book, music and lyrics for stage musicals. We spoke by phone with Poole during a rehearsal break.Ī: Well, I started off in theater. Poole's new stage adaptation, with music and lyrics by Broadway veterans Larry Grossman ("Minnie's Boys," "A Doll's Life") and Carol Hall ("The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"), opens this week in a TheatreWorks world premiere directed by Robert Kelley.
