Here are some recent updates Upcoming Projects ---------------------------- Matt will be performing as Jason in the World Premiere of "Speed Dating the Musical" at Metropolis Performing Arts Center.

Speed Dating The Musical3/29/08-6/21/08 World Premiere, by Resident Playwright Scott Woldman Music by John and Sandi Stoesser No opening lines needed. No wingman required. No walk of shame in the morning. It’s the ultimate in modern-day match making. It’s Speed Dating. You’re right there at every table as this group of lover seekers (or at least one-night standers) puts it all on the line for the coveted prize – a chance to have their phone number passed along to the person of their dreams, for a chance to have that person call them, for a chance to go on a date, for a chance to hit it off, for a chance to fall in love. You’ll be amazed at how attracted, disturbed, insulted, infatuated, repulsed, worshipped, horrified, engrossed, and ashamed one can become during a five minute date. Especially when they’re singing about it. Suggested Rating: R for adult language and content Select Saturdays at 10 p.m. from March, 29–June 21, 2008 Tickets $16.50

---------------------------------- Matt has been cast as Leather Apron/Painter, Courier understudy in 1776 at Signal Ensemble Theatre in Chicago.

America's Prize Winning Musical Music and Lyrics by Sherman Edwards Book by Peter Stone Based on a concept by Sherman Edwards Directed by ensemble member Ronan Marra featuring ensemble members Vincent L. Lonergan, Joseph Stearns and Philip Winston Set during a "hot as hell" summer in Philadelphia, 1776 is the Tony Award-winning musical about the seminal act in American history: the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Sectional differences, pride and fear threaten the Declaration and the fledgling nation. The score features hits such as "Sit Down, John," "He Plays the Violin" and "Mama Look Sharp." "1776 is a most striking, most gripping musical." —New York Times "In this cynical age, it required courage as well as enterprise to do a musical play that simply deals with the events leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. And 1776 … makes no attempt to be satirical or wander off into modern by-paths. … The result is a brilliant and remarkably moving work of theatrical art." —New York Post
