Rebecca Anna JonesSeth Andrew Bridges (LOUIS LELAND) is absolutely thrilled to be working on his first show with State of Play, and is even more thrilled to be doing so on this hysterical show with this delicious group of madcaps. Recent NY credits include Puck in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Escalus in “Measure for Measure,” and Suffolk in “Henry VI,” all with the NY Neo-Classical Ensemble (of which he is a member). Aside from acting, Seth is also a NYC based fight choreographer and stunt man, and can soon be seen boxing Tatum O’Neal (in drag, no less) in the upcoming feature film “Sweet Lorraine.”" He would like to thank this cast (obvs) and Fleitman for this hoard of comedic gold. And he would especially like to thank Bear 1 for constantly tickling his funny bone.
