Coming from a musical family, I grew up with song and dance as part of my heritage. I began singing publicly at the age of 8. As I got older, dance classes became part of my schooling followed by acting classes and a large variety of musical comedies. Once I graduated from high school, I continued learning my craft through academies and New York City specialty schools.As I was doing this I managed to continue performing professionally at various venues, landing some of my favorite roles (Emcee in Cabaret and Leading Player in Pippin).

As I continued to develop as a performing artist, my career took an interesting change and I got involved in improvisational and interactive theatre. I was cast for a show called “The Wedding” where I was given three weeks before my first performance to create a party coordinator character. That’s how Carlos Clemente was born and he quickly became an audience favorite. That’s why he is still here today (some 13 years later) in various venues and formats. Who knows what the future holds for Carlos? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

In the meantime I have been involved with a company (Kathy Reed Productions) doing various interactive/comedy shows performing a vast array of characters. This has not only been a wonderful learning experience, but a great challenge and lots of fun. I also go out several times a year on a national college tour for the company, performing in an interactive murder mystery comedy with a two-person cast. This has taken me across this country to places I never dreamed of seeing. I’ve learned, for the most part, people are people. We’re pretty much all the same when you get right down to it. And let’s face it - everyone loves to laugh. It’s funny because when you’re out of the New York area people tend to be very fascinated with those of us who live here. Sometimes living in this part of the country we forget what a wonderful and culturally rich area this is.  

What new and exciting things do I have planned? Well, you’ll have to stay tuned to my site and I’ll keep you updated. Oh yes, I could not end this page with out saying thank you to those who have helped me so far and in the future and to all the people who play the most important part, the audience. I hope you continue to enjoy my performances as much as I enjoy entertaining you.

Much love,
