On Golden Pond 2024 [Bill Ray]

Bio:

[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.

Gratitude to her two teenagers for being such good kids that she can mostly leave them to raise themselves while she’s at rehearsals. And most of all she’d like to thank her wonderful fiancé, Patrick (without whom she’d never have met Shawn) for putting up with all of this while she’s supposed to be helping to plan a wedding.
