Tommy is excited to be once again lending his creative talents on stage for this production as his presence is felt most often on the production team off the stage in every previous Masquerade production. Seen last on this stage last year as Schroeder in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.  Tommy has performed throughout the area for over 15 years in such roles as Einstein (Picasso at the Lapin Agile), Dick Fig (Exit Interview), Henry (The Fantasticks), Black Stache (Peter and the Starcatcher), Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka), Ian (High Fidelity), Albert (Bye Bye Birdie), Richard Hannay (The 39 Steps), and Eddie (Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?). Ever grateful for the love and support of his partner in life, Megan, and his kids who graciously put up with their parents’ love of theater.
