Moving into a college dorm can be very exciting… that is, until you find out your roommate is your polar opposite. Chad, a confident queer, meets his new roommate, Sean, a conservative hermit.

His original one-man play Welcome to Chaos was featured in the NY Theatre WinterFest at Teatro Latea where he played the lead role of Peter. Other performance credits include 54 Sings Lady Gaga, 54 Sings Classic Rock, Journey to Being Alone and Rocket Ma n at the Green Room 42.

He recently was the Principal Musician on the Norwegian Getaway and he will soon join the Norwegian Escape for another stint as a piano bar entertainer. A note from Dean: "Broadway is built on the passion of thousands of queer voices through the years and it's so important in today's political climate to create outwardly queer theater. As a queer person myself, I've always tried to ensure my work includes realistic depictions of LGBTQ+ characters, but with Should I Feel, I felt that it needed to be about the queer voice and not just include it. Anyone who knows my name may know that I am adamant about original work, so it was also important to me that Should I Feel be a completely new story with completely new music. That's what this is and I truly can't wait to share it with NY in January!"
