Norman Foster, is a Canadian playwright, considered to be Canada's most produced playwright. Foster has frequently been referred to as Canada's version of Neil Simon due to his prolific resume of life situation comedy. Foster discovered his talents as a playwright in Fredericton, New Brunswick, while he was working as host of a popular morning radio show. He accompanied a friend to an audition, and landed his first acting job, as Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey, without ever having even seen a play. Intrigued with the theatre, he set his pen to paper and wrote his first play titled Sinners.
