Rick Gomez, MM

Rick Gomez auditioned in 11th grade for his first musical. That year, North Shore High School in Glen Head, New York, chose “Carnival” as their summer production and cast Rick as Marco the Magnificent. Lo and behold, a career was born. 35 years later, he is an associate professor of musical theatre at Brenau University. Along the way, Rick has performed as a crossover artist with the Connecticut Repertory Theatre, Theatre Factory of St. Louis, and Deep Ellum Opera in Dallas, Texas. He’s also held assistant professorships at the University of Tulsa, North Carolina School of the Arts and Shorter College. He’s out of breath, and determined to call Brenau his last stop.
