Live theatre is back in Chicago after the long pandemic shutdown! And the first professional, Equity production in the Chicago area is The Tempest at Matt’s home company, Oak Park Festival Theatre. This sharp production, set on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, welcomed Shakespeare back to the Chicago stage and received raves from The Chicago Reader. Matt’s performance as Caliban was also lauded by Kerry Reid of The Dueling Critics.
“I applaud Gall’s performance as Caliban. Talk about the paradoxes… He is two creatures in one. There’s this vengeful side… and there’s this sweet side that can become a little bit of a dreamer.”– Kerry Reid, The Dueling Critics
