David Charles Rotenberg was a Canadian author and professor emeritus of theatre studies at York University, where he taught graduate students for over 25 years,[1][3] as well at the Professional Actors Lab in Toronto, which he founded as the artistic director.[4] David Rotenberg has been referred to as one of Canada's "most notable acting teachers and coaches,"[5] and may be the nation's best known master acting teacher.[6] During the formative part of his career, he was a theatre director in New York City and staged two Broadway shows,[7] returning to Toronto in 1987.[8] In 1994, he directed the first Canadian play to be staged in the People's Republic of China,[4][9] which inspired his career as a novelist, beginning with the five Zhong Fong mysteries set in modern Shanghai as well as the historical fiction novel Shanghai.[9] After writing a series of speculative thrillers set in The Junction, Toronto,[10] he began a science fiction series in 2017. He passed away on Nov 9, 2023.[11]
