Opportunity is about 6 dancers, from the Broadway flop McKinley: The Other American Musical, coming back together for a cast reunion. It's a dark comedy that delves into the lives of ensemble members in today's industry and what internal/external struggles they go through to create and keep the opportunities that they receive.

He was the 2016 recipient of "The Audience Favorite Award" from the former Metropolitan Room where he wrote, directed, and starred in two of his cabarets (Green Eyed Soul, Smoke and Mirrors).

The production team includes the talents of Michael Blatt as the director, an adjunct professor at AMDA and a recipient of the 2016 Outstanding Director Award at the Mid-Town International Theatre Festival for his work in Wimberley. Parsons alumni, Angela M. Fludd, as the costume designer (Red Hills, Food For The Gods). Meghan Abel on props (B'way production prop credits Les Miserables, Promises Promises, 9 to 5, Legally Blonde, Mystery of Edwin Drood). Three-time MAC Award Nominee, Jonny Mercado, on lighting/sound and Chandler Converse, Bachelor of the Arts degree from Agnes Scott College, as the stage manager.
