About the author

There is more than one Dave Johnson in the Goodreads catalog. This entry is for Dave [4^] Johnson, chaplain.

Dave Johnson is a graduate of The University of the Arts and has been a Philadelphia-based actor for the last six years. Previous Philly fringe hits include 2009's The Jersey Devil, and 2008's The Giant Squid. Mr. Johnson was last seen playing a cybernetic troublemaker with a spinning heart in the Berserker's Annihilation Point, an out of this world hora-trage-comedy. This remounting of the show -- seen at the Abrons Arts Center in New York City -- garnered stellar reviews in The New York Times and the Village Voice, among other papers. Even his shiny silver shorts got a mention. He is currently playing Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Lantern Theater (Philadelphia).

Work with other local Philadelphia theaters include Mum Puppettheater, Enchantment Theatre Co., CCTC, Theatre Horizon, and Theatre Exile. Love to G.
