Founder/President, Wagtail Productions, LLC Paul is proud to take on the exciting task of bringing to life Cory’s House. His journey to this point began at the University of Illinois where he received a BFA in Acting. He then became a member of Actor’s Equity Association as he gained extensive professional acting, singing and dancing experience over the next fifteen years performing in dozens of musicals including such long running commercial hits as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Forever Plaid, the latter of which he also directed and choreographed for major theatres across the country. No stranger to theatre for young audiences, Paul has performed in outreach drug abuse and teen pregnancy programs that toured inner city high schools and has also performed in many fairytale classics including the title role in Peter Pan. His journey has led him to gain extensive puppetry experience and even to develop a training program for a patented puppetry technique licensed to Eastern Onion. Paul first met his business and creative partner Cory Goodrich as a fellow actor working together in various musicals and later collaborated to create live industrial shows for companies such as Marshall Fields, Target and Mobil. Together they helped to develop a children’s safety show for Dayton Hudson and he is particularly proud of their work in creating national touring children’s shows that were so well received they inspired this current business and creative venture. A lover of film and media, Paul has studied film production and has produced and directed several short films with a future goal of producing tolerance related media. He is currently producing the live touring shows for the highly acclaimed Classical Kids series including their Emmy award winning Beethoven Lives Upstairs. Wagtail Productions has long been a dream of Paul’s and Cory’s House is the product of a dream come true. |
