This old guy made his acting debut in Miracle on 34th Street, the Musical in December 2022.  By golly, the same director brought him back!  I am very happy and excited to be invited on stage again!  When auditioning, I thought how cool it would be being in the same play as my soulmate Donna Morosco.  Indeed, we both were cast for The Importance of Being Earnest!  And, in the play we kind of like each other, Woohoo!  Thank You Erin for giving me another opportunity!  I have attended many plays at the beautiful Old School House Players.  Indeed, I am honored to be on stage here!
