Lawrence Lesher
Dogberry
Lawrence Lesher (Nick Bottom) is a grizzled veteran of the off-off Broadway scene having theatrically soldiered through the jukebox-at-the-adjoining-bar noises, basketball-games-at-the-adjoining-gymnasium noises, and Harley-Davidsons-directly-outside-for-30-minutes noises of many a blackbox space. And yet somehow, miraculously, he still keeps coming back. He's acted/directed/toured/drank in all 50 states with shows like "Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)" and "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" and once actually gave a guy a seizure with his performance in "Waiting for Godot". Take from that what you will.
