Rabbit Hole 2025 [Howie] | Next to Normal 2023 [Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden]

(He/Him) is thrilled beyond measure to return to Masquerade, having appeared here last season in Next to Normal (Fine/Madden). He is fortunate to have performed in Urinetown (Hot Blades Hairy), Into the Woods (Rapunzel's Prince), Cabaret (Emcee), YAGMCB (Linus), and most recently in the role of Prop Designer for The Player's Club of Swarthmore's Drowsy Chaperone. Off the stage, Greg is an LCSW whose focus has been in pediatric oncology for the past 20 years and most recently has trained to be an End of Life Doula with INELDA. Greg celebrates Megan, Tommy, and Masquerade for their desire to select shows that highlight the fullness and complexities of life, particularly around loss and grief; an often unspoken topic despite its pervasiveness across our human experience. Greg is grateful to Megan and this opportunity to create alongside a stellar cast of performers.

Scott Reynolds

Next to Normal 2023 [Dan] | The Fantasticks 2022 [Bellomy]

Scott is very happy to be back on the Masquerade stage, having had so much fun playing Belomy in last year's The Fantasticks." He has been active in professional and community theater for almost 4 decades. Although Scott was (in his younger days) fortunate enough to have performed in several national and international tours, he now enjoys a simpler life in Barrington with his family and teaches in the Berlin Township school district. Scott would like to thank the wonderful cast and crew of Next to Normal. Working with them has been a wonderful, one-of-a-kind experience. Finally, as always, he would like to dedicate his performance to his son, Walter.
