CAST/STAFF Bios

Vince DelCalzo (Mac) is looking forward to his return to Blank Canvas Theatre, having appeared here in Children’s Letters To Satan (Satan).   A veteran of local theater, Vince has been seen in Fiddler on the Roof (Tevye),  On Golden Pond (Norman Thayer), Urinetown: The Musical, Wait Until Dark, and Witness For The Prosecution,  as well as The Odd Couple,  Miracle on 34th Street and 12 Angry Jurors.  He’s also an avid golfer and a diehard optimist of Cleveland sports teams, and regularly continues his search for the perfect cocktail.  Vince wants to thank his family and friends for their support; without them he’d never get any applause.
