Matt is freaking excited to be working on a world premier, THE SECRET KEEPER by David Meyers, A Writer/Actor from New York, about a politically charged piece about suicide bombers. A two person play set in Afghanistan where a muslim woman (Kate Costello) visits an ignored and desolate cemetery that is being care taken by one lonely grave digger, (Matt Andrade). The cemetery holds secrets and hatred of the world as the decimated bodies of the bombers are cared for by the forgiving man, who seeks to the quell the hatred and prove that all deserve love. The Piece will be performed at the Cell Theatre June 5-15th. Produced by The Fusion Theatre Company.
Matt just booked and shot a wacky commercial for COMCAST. Working with the amazing agency Goodby Silverstien & Partners &World War Seven productions. The people who brought you the "Got Milk" campaign and hilarious fun commercial such as these.
It’s not often that an actor gets to play a legendary leading role like Stanley Kowalski from A Streetcar Named Desire. Matt Andrade gets to do it twice—and with the same director, no less. Salomé Martinez directed Andrade more than a decade ago, and they’re teaming up again for Teatro Nuevo México’s production of Streetcar at the National Hispanic Cultural Center (1701 Fourth Street SW), Sept. 29 and 30, and Oct. 1 and 2.
When Matt Andrade was a senior at Highland High School, he portrayed Stanley Kowalski, the male lead in Tennessee Williams’ famous play “A Streetcar Named Desire.” The director of that production was drama teacher Salomé Martínez-Lutz.
