Michael is elated to be joining the cast of BUDDY in his MusicalFare debut. As senior at Canisius College, he is preparing to graduate this May with a BA in Psychology. While he has performed throughout high school and college, including performances of THE ODD COUPLE (Felix Unger) and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (Lefou), Michael can more frequently be found drumming along in the pit. Although his real passion is for Afro-Cuban percussion, he has played drum set for many shows, including NUNSENSE and JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at The Lancaster Opera House as well as for several musicals at Canisius. He is excited to be able to combine his passion for drumming and his love of the stage for this performance.
