Pendanski"); The Little Lame Prince ("Son"); Bocon
("Luis", "Judge", "Voice Keeper"); Theater Soup
("Chicken Little/Story teller"). Film/Television:

to be back with the gang. It’s always good to be in
an environment that is professional and fun and at
the same time, a place were you can feel at home.
Special thanks to Ben Cohn and Yvonne
Gutierrez for giving me the tools and the
confidence that got me into this production. As
always and forever, thank you to my mother for
her continued love and support, and to my family
and friends for coming out, supporting and also
believing in me. I love you all.”
