Paul Lorentz (Jody) is excited to be making his second appearance with StageQ after playing Bartholomew in Corpus Christi. In addition, he has appeared in Mercury Players’ Balm in Gilead and in Strollers’ production of The Last Night of Ballyhoo. Originally from the Kenosha area, he now lives in Sun Prairie with his partner James and their two “children”, Oscar and Spike. And an old Lorentz Family legend has it that Paul once spent all his candy money on a roadmap of Indiana.
