Theatrical Resume for Michael Cuddy

I did quite a bit of back-stage work in a former life (high school) including lighting and set design, and various other back-stage positions, but I never fancied myself the on-stage type. Yep, man-in-black, that's me -- or so I thought.

It all started in 2002. My wife and I sing with "The Coventry Carolers", a victorian christmas caroling group that usually performs at Dickens' fair. That year, also at the fair, there was a production of Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance (one of my favorite shows). My wife was performing in the chorus. A fellow cast member (and now good friend) said that the Stanford Savoyards needed people to audition for their spring production of The Mikado.

My wife convinced me to go audition, and I've been bitten by the stage bug ever since.

I also have a printable version of this resume.
