Andrew Gouthro is a Cape Breton born performer with an unshakeable love for theatre, and a long-term crush on the HAT. From such wonderful productions as Sucker, The CBLA and Best Brothers, to The Glass Menagerie, Disco Nights and The Drowsy Chaperone (to name just a few), he remains passionate and insatiable when it comes to entertaining the crowd. He is in some disbelief that this is even happening. However, illusion or no, he begs you not to pinch him awake.
