P.J. Morello has been a fixture on Fairfield county stages for decades.  He appeared on the Curtain Call stage as Maurice in Beauty and the Beast  and Mr. Mushnik in Little Shop of Horrors.  He portrayed Sipos in the Wilton Playshop production of She Loves Me and Cladwell in Urinetown. At the Westport Community Theater he played Sidney Black in Light Up the Sky and Ira in Laughter on the 23rd Floor at the Westport Community Theater. Tonight marks P.J.’s return to the TPNC stage.  He was last seen - [wait for it] - over 10 years ago as - [wait for it] - Henry, the Old Actor in The Fantasticks!   Many thanks to his patient wife, Diane, for kicking him out of the house once in a while.

At Fordham University I sang Christmas carols in Grand Central Terminal; had great fun in "Guys and Dolls" dancing in the Hot Box and portraying General Cartwright in the Save a Soul Mission and playing percussion in the pit for "Carousel". In the passion play, "O My People", I had roles of Mary Magdalene, Mary for voice-over, and worked as company manager. The 11-year highlight at CT Playmakers was singing Bibbity, Bobbity, Boo! I look forward to making friends smile at the Powerhouse.

For the past 30+ years, Martin has been sharing his talents with various theater companies & venues throughout Fairfield County. This includes but is not limited to Troupers Light Opera, CT Choraliers, the Norwalk Community Chorale, & most recently CT Playmakers. This is Martin’s first attempt at a character with no lines! (but he’ll be plenty busy on stage - LOL). By day, Martin is a first responder (EMT), & hospital switchboard operator, destined for further advancement into the medical field.
