[People]

2005
Paul Metzger (Director) — No stranger to the stage, Paul has appeared in 20 productions over the years, musical and non-musical alike, and has been Fight Director (stage combat) for several of them. Most recently, Paul appeared as one of the muleteers in Man of LaMancha, and prior to that, reprised the role of Ernst Ludwig ("the bad guy") in MADCO's award-winning production of Cabaret. Our production of Jesus Christ Superstar, however, marks Paul's main stage directorial debut.

He thanks Actorsingers for believing in his vision and taking a chance on a new director, and for everyone who helped make this dream a reality. Specifically, thanks to Martha Daniels Holland who was his unofficial Assistant Director on this project in addition to official Choreographer, and to Dennis Schneider, a great mentor on all things technical. Thanks to his brother-in-law Roger (who was also Paul's high school drama instructor) for planting the theatre bug years ago and for his advice and support. Kudos to everyone in the cast and crew... you couldn't ask for a more talented (and fun!) group of individuals.

But above all, thanks to his love and fiancée, Donna O'Bryant, for the never-ending support and endless patience she showed during months of preparation and countless playings of the soundtrack! And a super big hug to his biggest fans, his children Margaret and Matthew, and the other special woman in his life, Donna's daughter Mallory. You guys are the best!
