Matthew Bogen
as Francis Hardy
Matthew makes his Sherman Playhouse debut with this production. It serves as a closing of the circle, in a way; his high school teacher, James Mandracchia, performed on this stage, planting a seed for his young mind to consider that one did not need to put oneself in a box. Matthew is the Head of Information Technology at the Yale Center for British Art, after previously serving at the Frist Art Museum in Nashville and the Folger Shakespeare Library. Acting credits include King Lear (Lear), Terra Nova (Scott), Julius Caesar (Caesar), Noises Off (Lloyd), Macbeth (Lennox, Macduff), Blithe Spirit (Bradman), Moon Over Buffalo (Paul), Taming of the Shrew (Hortensio), Lion in Winter (Philip, Geoffrey), Our Town (Gibbs), Much Ado About Nothing (Borachio), Charlie's Aunt (Fancourt), and Importance of Being Earnest (Lane/Merriman). Matthew is excited to work with Priscilla, Bruce, and Kyle again on this amazing work. We’re all stories in the end; make yours a good one.
