Michael is grateful for the opportunity to work with Seed Art Share on such a fun project! He started doing sound design for virtual productions in 2020 with Brave New Classics. He has been directing a few years longer, and acting off and on for longer than he's willing to admit publicly 

 Dominic Pitocco is incredibly excited to be playing Nickey in Engaged to Death! This is his second show with Seed Art Share, previously puppeteering and voicing nine characters in Seed’s Treasure Island. He has also recently played Trinculo in The Tempest and Adrian in Comedy of Errors with Shared Radiance and Lysander in A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Sweet Tea Shakespeare.

Dominic is beyond grateful for his family, friends, fellow cast mates, and the wonderful creative team behind Engaged to Death and all they have done to support him! 

Actor based in Raleigh NC, I've been an actor for about six years now, and I entered into it professionally about six months ago. In my spare time, I enjoy playing golf and taking long walks on the beach. Equally comfortable on the dance floor and on a basketball court, I pride myself on being a jack of all trades.
