Michael Dentico is thrilled to be portraying Ritchie Valens in MusicalFare’s BUDDY! Having just graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Film and Music in May 2014, he is returning to theatre from an extended hiatus while at school, excited as ever to act, sing and dance once again. He has performed in past regional theatre performances in Buffalo, including THE FARNSWORTH INVENTION (Kavinoky, 2009) and A THOUSAND CLOWNS (Studio Arena, 2004). A passion for the arts has always been close to his heart, having studied for 8 years at The Academy of Theatre Arts from 2002-2010.
