Dayle Vander Sande (Detective Dulmirth in Grave Reviews) is tickled to play the broad comedy of this hilarious character, and recently played some "broads" among the 9 characters comprising the D’Ysquith Family in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder this past February with the Heights Players (Brooklyn). Recent roles include Scrooge in Menken's A Christmas Carol (directed by Chris Carver), with Narrows Theater (Brooklyn) with which he has also played Walter Hobbs (Elf), Judge Pitkin (On the Town), and Col. Mustard (Clue); and in a virtual pandemic production, he also played multiple characters as Adult Man in Spring Awakening. With Hudson Classical Theater (NYC) he was seen as Sir John in Sense & Sensibility; with Kings County Shakespeare (Brooklyn) as Lord Capulet (R&J); and as King Leontes (Winter's Tale) with the Ward Studio (NYC); and co-wrote with Vicki Hirsch and performed the one-man show Chekhov on the Wing at the NY Intl and Provincetown Fringe Festivals.
