From September to November of 2007 Will travelled across Europe solo with nothing but a backpack and a ukule.  23 cities in 52 days.  You can read his Travel Blog here. 

As well as an actor, Will is a songwriter, with a CD of 18 original songs (Composed) and a full-length musical with text by Shakespeare (Sighs of Fire) which is now available on iTunes.    He is currently at work on a new score with  collaborator Eric Price (currently in the graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program at NYU).

The piano is his main instrument, but Will also plays the guitar and a mean ukulele. His uke seized center stage at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, where, besides acting, he wrote 6 very zany songs for The Servant of Two Masters. He has recently acquired a cello; which he cannot play. YET.

Will was born and raised in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. A recent honors graduate of the Drama School at Carnegie Mellon University with a degree in acting/musical theatre, he has played lead roles at several regional theaters, most recently Curly in Oklahoma! at Chicago’s Light Opera Works, the title role in Candide also at Light Opera Works, and Gerald Arbuthnot in A Woman of No Importance for the Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre.

After moving to NYC in August of 2005, Will appeared in a festival of 10 minute plays for the Vital Theatre Company (Second Kiss, by Andrea Lepcio), and sang and danced with Matt Damon in a feature film directed by Robert De Niro (The Good Shepherd, released Dec. 2006.)

On March 28th, 2006 he made his debut with the North American touring company of Mamma Mia! And on July 22nd he made his debut as Sky.  After 16 months, he left the tour in July 2007 for a month-long workshop production at Indiana University of a musical he co-wrote (more info later!).
