This week we are thrilled to welcome a triple (quadruple?) threat, actor/singer/dancer/writer Tom Frueh.  Tom has been a Musical Theatre performer for 30+ years, has written numerous plays and two one-man musicals, and embodies an inspirational spirit, discipline, and dedication to the craft.  We talk to him about learning how to sing and dance, the evolution of musical theatre, creating your own work, and doing what you love, for life.

Tom is constantly training, and shared some of his favorite classes and teachers with hurryupandwait.  The following dance teachers come at his recommendation:
