Armando Urdiales (He/Him/His)”: A second year MS in Theatre Studies at the University of Houston, I have been obsessed with theater since I was a kid. My mothers lullabies were from Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals and “Everything All Right” has been my go to sleep song since birth. One of my passions is exploring new theatre, and experience as much of it as I can. If I had to pick a favorite show it tends to vary by mood, however my top three interchange constantly. They are Spring Awakening (both play and musical), Hadestown, Quixote Nuevo. 

Jonathan has been enthralled by the stage for as long as he can remember. From children's summer theater camps to seeing his first Broadway show in 1990. He went to college in Albany, NY and got his BFA in Theatrical Costume Design & Construction, working in and around upstate New York and Massachusetts before moving into the larger design world of graphic, digital and UX (user experience). Having lived in Westchester County and NYC for over 20 years, he loves to nourish his love for theater anywhere he can find it, be it local, regional or equity stages across the U.S. He can often be found at any bar's Musical Monday, and has seen over 120 musical theater productions (some of them even two or three times!).
