Adrian reteams with Dauntless City Theatre after featuring in the award-winning Romeo and (her) Juliet. Most recently, he flung a volleyball with great conviction at the lead actor of Durango at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. In the upcoming season, Adrian will provide songwriting and sound design for Love Me Forever Billy H. Tender, premiering at Videofag. His life has improved markedly since he embraced the word “literally” as a casual intensifier; he encourages friends and family to follow suit. Adrian is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada, and barring unforeseen mishap, he intends to never die.
