Bio
Blurb: Jeff met Eric and Zippy when hired to play
"Mort the Used Coffin Salesman" at Riverside Park.
A couple years later, Eric and Jeff wrote a
spin-off show for Mort that ran for nearly 2
decades later (featuring many other actors in the
role). Also during this time, Jeff created
his one-man comedy magic act "Sidewalk Sorcery"
and was part of the weekly improv classes taught
by Phantom Sheep at HCC. Over the years, Jeff has been a driving force in the troupe as a writer, performer, and instructor often seen in LaughCrafters shows, sketches, and workshops. He performed roles in several other Phantom Sheep shows including "Puppetworks PhantoSeize", "Showdown in GhostTown", "Verdict of Sorcery", and "Splashbucklin Scalleywags". Jeff is known for his clowning and lyrical interpretive dance skills. He has also directed several of our shows and even created props and puppets for many of our productions. Jeff studied Theater at Salem State and HCC. He also studied clowning and interactive performance with Avner the Eccentric at the renowned Celebration Barn. Jeff is also a published comic book writer & artist. You can check out his titles "Doberman" and "Heretic Hex" at Rare Earth Comics.
