Dan Beckmann

as Father

(Father/ Director/ Set Designer) is humbled to be playing the role of Father in such an outstanding cast. After his birth in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, he rapidly aged while accomplishing very little very quickly. In addition to performing, Dan is a photographer, graphic designer, Texas Hold'em amateur, and purveyor of high fructose corn syrup. He holds the pleasure of serving as spring Theatre's Artistic Director, and if you don't like the show it's Erinn’s fault. www.itsRiley.com
