Uff da! Matthew participated in his second Phil Olson developmental reading in New York, "A Nice Family Christmas"--First Place winner in the McClaren Comedy Festival, Second Place winner in the Robert J. Pickering Award for Playwriting Excellence, and optioned for film by Terry Botwick and Jerry Jameson. Matthew played Carl the beleaguered journalist, continuing a character employment trend this year, and rolled out the accent of his native land, Minnesota. It was a great night of laughs at the Dramatist Guild!
