Educated at the Sorbonne and the Yale School of Drama, Gersh Kuntzman is obviously not the person being described here.

He's also the writer and producer of "Murder at the Food Coop," which was a hit at the NYC Fringe Festival in 2016, and “SUV: The Musical” in 2007. Email Gersh at gersh@streetsblog.org
