Looking for Equity Actors for Theatre's 2025 Season Shows

As Michael, he is an excellent actor and singer who can’t get out of his own way...fiercely and stubbornly passionate about his craft and as a result “difficult”, volatile, unlikable.

The producer of the show that makes Dorothy a star. Matter of fact, no-nonsense, with an eye on the bottom line and a mouth full of one-liners.
