Dan Hudock
Dan started his acting in community theater in 2017 by playing Alfred Doolittle in My Fair Lady, followed by Chief in Get Smart, Bob Cratchit in Christmas Carol and Colonel Sir Francis Chesney in Charlie’s Aunt. He quickly fell in love with theater, but more importantly, with the people involved in theater. His four children: Luke, Ben, Josiah and Sarah, and his wife Kathy, keep him laughing. A typical Sunday afternoon will find them holed up in a coffee shop over a highly competitive board game.
