David has been a musical theatre geek since sophomore year of high school when he became obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera.

He recently sang in drag again as Greta in OUT/PLAY’s production of Bent.

Passionate about making more opportunities for Queer actors, David founded OUT/PLAY: Queer Theatre, which focuses on bringing new life to under-produced or forgotten queer plays.
