DAVID MICHAEL SCHUSTER (Appleby)
David Michael Schuster, a native of Indianapolis, makes his Epilogue Players debut with Night Watch. He is, however, no stranger to the stage. Mr. Schuster spent most of the last 48 years singing opera all over the world. He did intermittent theater in New York and Italy as Algernon in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest and Mr. Antrobus in Thornton Wilders Skin of Our Teeth. From 1985 - 1996, he was a staple at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, a tenor soloist with the Radio Televisione Svizzera Italiana in Lugano, Switzerland. While opera will always be in his blood, he is happy to return to the dramatic theater and hopes to revitalize his career as a real actor. His thanks go out to the staff at Epilogue for giving him the opportunity and to his family for always being in his corner. A special thank you goes to his friend, actor Vincent Pratt, for convincing him to keep performing.
