"My entire family was affected by the Great Depression..."
"My entire family was affected by the Great Depression and often told stories about it," said vocalist Bill Gross. "My dad had to cut back from working five days to four days, and as the economic situation worsened, my grandmother eventually had to move in with us." Gross plays President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Spare A Dime, enhancing the performance with his powerful baritenor and theatrical equanimity.
Gross is a musical theater veteran, having played over thirty roles in thirty years, from opera to operetta, from Broadway to Gilbert & Sullivan. He has appeared with numerous regional theater companies including Rose Valley Chorus & Orchestra, Stagecrafters, Hedgerow Theater, Players Club of Swarthmore, Narberth Community Theater, Dramateurs and the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of West Chester. Now, he's happy to add COSACOSA to his list. His roles have ranged from Hadj in Kismet (pictured) and King Arthur in Camelot to Frederic in Pirates of Penanze and Gabriel von Eisenstein, Dr. Falke, and Alfredo in Die Fledermaus. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Trenton, Gross studied at Yale University where he was a member of the famed Whiffenpoof Singers. Off-stage, Gross coaches on how to give effective presentations and serves on nonprofit boards and committees.
