[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.

Past credits include Seussical (Wickersham Brother), Dog Sees God (Beethoven), A Comb and a Prayer Book (David), Brighton Beach Memoirs (Eugene).

Joe is grateful to Masquerade Theatre, the cast, crew, and audience for the opportunity to return to performing. Find ways to donate and support your local performing arts venue, such as Masquerade, today to keep the arts thriving in New Jersey. A special thank you to the friends and family reading this for their love and support. “Onwards and upwards!” -Neil Simon, Brighton Beach Memoirs.
