New Appointment: Music Director at Massasoit Community Theatre

I am thrilled to be joining the team at Massasoit Community Theatre. I am sincerely looking forward to leading this company as Music Director. In my brief tenure, we have produced “White Christmas” by Irving Berlin, and “Legally Blonde” by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin (book by Heather Hach).

The quality of talent in this area of Massachusetts (Brockton) is certainly a treat for me. This has allowed the entire company to really delve deep into the material, uncovering it’s subtleties and nuances. I look forward to more shows with this company.
