A native of Staten Island, NY, I represented the first grade with a solo “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” in that years Christmas Show, and never looked back. School plays, Community Theatre & training at The Circle in the Square Theatre School followed, and I have since been a Spear Carrier at The N.Y. City Opera (really!), and a Barroom Brawler roughing up Placido Domingo at The Metropolitan Opera (a coincidence). I have toured with Theatreworks U.S.A., worked at The Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, The Texas Shakespeare Festival, The Williamstown Theatre Festival, The Nebraska Repertory Theatre, and The Key West Theatre Festival. Here in town there have been various Off-Off Broadway shows, The NY International Fringe Festival, Soap Operas, Independent Films, “Law & Order”, and commercials, too. My heartfelt thanks go to Msses. Langham & Horton for their invitation to join this talented group of artists in support of so worthy a cause.
