In this ongoing series, we briefly introduce you to the actors performing in our plays in a fun way. Episode 65: Meet Matthew Gumley, a 17-year-old Florida native who already has two big-time Broadway credits to his name: Elf and The Addams Family. Matthew plays Piggy in the DCPA Theatre Company’s Lord of the Flies. Here, Matt talks about playing opposite Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth, his first impressions of Denver, and offers some perhaps surprising opinions about Johnny Carson and Jimmy Fallon. Lord of the Flies plays through Nov. 2 in the Space Theatre. Call 303-893-4100, or go to www.denvercenter.org. Video by John Moore and David Lenk. Run time: 2 minutes.
