Meet the Four Guyz in Dinner Jackets^®

(High Tenor) has been performing throughout the Milwaukee area in many venues. His credits include Harlequin in "Triumph of Love" at the Skylight Opera Theatre, Will Parker in "Oklahoma!" with Milwaukee Musical Theatre, and Emory in "The Boys in the Band" with Bialystock and Bloom. When he is not seen on the boards, you will find him in the back of the house directing and choreographing with a variety of school levels including college and community theatre productions. If you like the Guyz' moves tonight, know that Reggie is responsible for much of the choreography you see! Reggie loves to read trashy romance novels and watch reruns of reality TV shows. Sometimes when he sings very high, his face turns extremely rosy.
	(First Tenor) describes himself as a singer who acts on the side. On the side of what, we do not know. Don has professional credits which include the Baker in Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods", the Magician in "Carnival", and a featured performer in "And the World Goes Round". Don loves all kinds of music but favors the old rock-and-roll and jazz standards. Ask Don about his arrangements of the music for the Four Guyz, as he is the clever arranger of most of the music the Guyz perform. Don loves to cook and retile kitchens and bathrooms. He also makes his own jellies and jams. Donny loves piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, however he is not into yoga.
(Baritone) is clearly the cutest of the Four Guyz, and doesn't even realize it. The fact that he is the one writing all of these biographies has absolutely nothing to do with it. Tommy's professional theatre credits include Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Seymour in "Little Shop of Horrors", and Joseph in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". Tommy can also be heard and seen as the front man with Milwaukee's award-winning big band, Swing Nouveau. Tommy's other significant talents include riding unicycle, blowing bubbles, and designing computer software as a systems analyst. He recently was the recipient of the coveted Millennium Award which recognizes talent, kindness, creativity and pathological lying. If you dig the props, costumes and other toys in the Four Guyz show, know that they came from Tommy's parents' basement where most of his crap has remained for years.
	(Bass) has been performing since he was a child, although recently spends more time backstage as a lighting and sound designer for several theatre companies in the greater-Milwaukee area. Aaron's onstage credits inlcude Finch in "How to Succeed...", Mayor Shinn in "The Music Man", and the company of "Oh, Calcutta". His design work includes "Little Shop of Horrors", "The Wizard of Oz", "Pippin", and "Romeo and Juliet". Aaron loves to sing, but he also enjoys being an engineer. He finds measurements and numbers somehow significant, and likes to think about them in general and very specific ways. Aaron is also the tallest of the Four Guyz, at six foot three inches, so there's that much more of him to like.
