My Thoughts

Chad is an MFA graduate from UMKC. Judging from his Shakespeare performances and other appearances on PAC stages, he shows a great deal of promise. He was amazing in his portrayal of the Elephant Man in UMKC's production, he made me laugh and cry at the same time. And he was the shining star in HASF the 2000 season. Chad fit every definition of the perfect bastard as Edmond in King Lear and a love sick young man as Orlando in As You Like It. I have no doubt he will make a name for himself in the acting profession.
