DAVID COOK
(Jeff)

is excited to be returning to the Plaza stage for the 5th time. Plaza patrons may have seen him take his shirt off in AIDA, as Radames, or perhaps they saw him when he took his shirt off in MAN WITH THE POINTED TOES, as Tom. He has also taken to the Plaza stage in more shirted roles, such as Percy in THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL. When not performing at Plaza, he has taken the stage in several other theaters in the DFW area. Most recently he was seen (fully dressed) in Lyric Stage's 1776 as Judge James Wilson. When not on the stage, he is almost always wearing a shirt as he practices law in an effort to support his beautiful wife Shoshana and his adorable kid, Cosette. Much love to this incredible cast he gets to play with almost daily, and to Aaron for allowing him to perform this awesome role. If you've read this far, you are probably wondering if this will be a "shirt on" role, or a "shirt off" role - sorry, you'll just have to watch to find out.
