Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on April 10, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Dennis! Another year older, wiser, and still the reigning champion of witty dialogue and unforgettable scenes. Ever since your Nicholl Fellowship win back in '86—when typewriters roamed the earth—you've been crafting stories that make us laugh, think, and occasionally spill popcorn.

Here's to celebrating a playwright whose scripts age better than fine wine (and certainly better than some Hollywood reboots). May your birthday be filled with applause-worthy moments as memorable as your best screenplays. Keep inspiring us all with your timeless talent—and remember: you're not getting older; you're just entering another award-winning act!
