About the Author

Rob Carroll was born hungry, cold and naked (and not necessarily in that order.)  “I swore that day that I would never go cold and hungry again,” Carroll later admitted to his biographer. “I have gone naked, however. Much to the chagrin of my wife.”

Rob was voted “Most Likely To Be Irrelevant” at Haverford High School in Delaware County, PA . Upon graduating Temple University, Rob formed the Falstaff Players, a theater troupe put together to “pretty much stage the lousy plays I was writing.” After 5 years of producing two shows per year, the troupe broke up.

Falstaff wasn’t all for naught, however. In 1992, Sue Donovan auditioned for one of Rob’s plays. “I knew the moment I met her I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her,” Rob admits with a grin. Was it love? “Not at first,” says Rob. “It was the fact that she was the first person to like any of my plays.” Sue went home that fateful evening and told her parents, “I think the playwright is stupid, fat and ugly. I think he’ll start losing his hair pretty soon, too. I’m thinking about marrying him.”

Married in 1996, Rob and Sue live in beautiful West Chester, PA with their two children. Both kids were born hungry, cold and naked. “We used to think our daddy was funny,” said the two children who wish to remain anonymous, “until we came across this website.”

Rob has had his plays produced by the City Theater Company in Wilmington, DE; Colonial Playhouse in Aldan, PA; the Montgomery County Theatre Project in Lansdale, PA; and the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center.  He has also written nearly 70 children stories with three of them published with illustrations on Comcast’s Online Schoolyard website from 1997-2000. One of his stories, Calen & Jumbalaya, was illustrated by West Chester, PA children ages 7-12 and sits as a bound book in the West Chester Public Free Library.

Rob started “Seek Therapy” in March 2003 and attempts to send one out to “anyone interested in reading this nonsense” once a week.  He thanks everyone for taking the time to read “Seek Therapy” each and every week!
