This year I had the honor of getting to play the same amazing role more than once- an unlikely dream for many performers. And I reprised the role just three months after the first. I was cast in the Addams Family at Stagedoor Manor in the summer of 2023 and that following fall I was cast again in CB East High schools production of the show. In both productions I played the lead role of Uncle Fester and every night got to get fully painted white and balded for the show.

This show holds a very special place in my heart now. Besides knowing the show inside and out, I got to work with some of the most amazing creative teams and casts one could ask for. Below are pictures from my time with each production!

STAGE DOOR MANOR

I was so lucky to be cast in this show with these people. I had my closest friends and my most trusted peers by my side for these three weeks. I had a medical emergency in the first rehearsal and the entire cast was there for me. When I got back to camp two days later they surrounded me with so much love and kindness. These truly are my people and I have made friendships that I hope will last a lifetime.

EAST HIGH SCHOOL

Another amazing production and team to be a part of. This was my first production with Patriot Player and the community I was thrust into was so beautiful. I got to know so many new faces and really find my place in my high school’s community!

All amazing memories but listen when I say, “I will never wear a bald cap again”…
