Adam Lau
as Michael
is making his (mid) world premiere with Mid-World Players in Murder Ballad. Being the laughing stock at the dinner table since age 5, he compromised joining the circus, and put all his teen angst into theater and a rock band. Realizing how horrible his healing powers were, he dropped his Pre-Med major, and went full blown Bard, getting into the Musical Theater program at James Madison University. Previous credits: Roger in ChiCabaRent, Riff-Raff in a Rocky Horror/Hedwig mash-up, Executive Producer on My Favorite Girlfriend, and Maddy’s Musical, an improv show, and hitting up a karaoke joint whenever possible. Aside from a hush production that is looking to go on Broadway, this is Adam’s first return to the stage of a prepared performance since the no-no time. He would like to thank Mid-World Players for the opportunity, his friends and family for the support, and any existing relationship he may or may not be engaged with by the time this gig goes global.
