FRANK ANGUIANO (King Louis XI, Chorus)  first fell in love with theater and performing while at Monterey High School. After studying theater for a year at West Texas A&M University under Royal Brantley and Stephen Crandall, Frank walked and away and chose a different path, attending seminary and earning a Master of Divinity degree from Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University and then spending three years as a United Methodist pastor in Texas and Montana. But the desire to perform on stage never went away, and even though Frank had not had an audition in a dozen years, he auditioned for The Wallace’s production of Shakespeare in Hollywood, winning the role of Daryl before transitioning into the role of Will Hays three weeks before the opening of the show. He also recently performed as Colonel Sanders in CATS Playhouse production of The Treasure of Shiver River. Frank hopes to continue to pursue a future as a performer and content creator while also continuing to be an advocate for the disinherited people of his community.
