It was thrilling to take on this classic piece with such a dedicated, hilarious and grounded cast. Lots of laughs and a sold out run later, and Zachary cannot wait to direct his next show at Merely Players!

This past February, Zachary was thrilled to appear as the title role in
Enchantment Theatre Company's
World Premiere Production
of

In addition to playing the main character, Zachary also served as the Assistant Director and Choreographer of this production.

This was a co-production between Enchantment Theatre Company and The Philadelphia Orchestra. Having been shelved in March of 2020, we were very happy to bring this show to life three years later, with the help of some of the most talented musicians in the country.
