On Golden Pond 2024 [Bill Ray]

[he/him] is very excited to be making his Masquerade debut, and he is even more excited to be working under Scott again for the first time in 30 years. Fun fact: Scott gave Matt his first acting gig when they were both but wee lads. He was last seen in Burlington County Footlighters’ 2nd Stage production of Fully Committed, a one-man show where he played over 40 different characters and totally memorized all his lines and didn’t at all read two-thirds of the script off a teleprompter during the performances. That’s a weird thing to ask. Shut up. What are you talking about. You should probably mind your own business.
