As we get closer to opening night of Bay Area premiere of Heathers: The Musical, we will be introducing you to our amazingly talented cast. Each week pop on by to meet some of the faces you’ll see on the first day of senior year at Westerberg High!
We’re thrilled to welcome Andy Rotchadl to Ray of Light AND the Bay Area–he’s a recent transplant from Minnesota. Since he moved here, he’s been involved with many theatres in the area: SF Playhouse, CMT San Jose, and Los Altos Stage.
Join us as we learn a little more about Andy, aka Kurt’s Dad / Veronica’s Dad / Principal Gowan.
1. As we mentioned above, Andy is new to the Bay Area! He grew up in Mankato, MN, a small college town of fifty thousand people about an hour and a half south of Minneapolis/St. Paul. If you see him out and about, say hi! We hear Midwesterners are friendly 🙂
2. Andy is no stranger to the stage, he’s been performing since he was a child in the children’s chorus at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
3. Currently, Andy is attending Notre Dame de Namur University. He’s studying voice with an emphasis in musical theatre.
4. As you miiiight have guessed, Andy is musically inclined. In addition to singing and acting, he also plays the guitar. Fun fact: he used to be in a classic rock cover band!
5. Andy is a proud motorcycle rider. PSA: Don’t be one of those jerks who changes lanes quickly without looking!
Don’t miss Andy in his Ray of Light debut this May! Heathers: The Musical runs from May 22nd through June 13th at the Victoria Theatre. Tickets are available at Rayoflighttheatre.com/Heathers.
