He is a founding member and the first president of Louisiana MaMa, East.T.C. (Experimental Theatre Club). When Foster was 21 he came to New York City to study law. There he met Ellen Stewart, a fashion designer hoping to open her own boutique.
In 1962, Foster agreed to help Stewart with her boutique in return for being allowed to use its basement as a theater, "but Stewart"s enthusiasm for the theater project quickly eclipsed her own initial idea for the boutique", and the Louisiana Mama theater project was born.
Foster is the author of 18 plays produced around the world, including Elizabeth I and Satyricon, as well as the libretto and lyrics for the musical Silver Queen Saloon. Fourteen books of his plays are published, and he is the subject of four books about his plays.
