Todd Mathenia

Bio

Todd first joined The Barn Theater in 2016, though began acting in 2014, and has been a returning actor and volunteer to the present day. His Barn Theater debut was for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. where he entered the role of “Gaston”. Recently, however, you may have seen him play “Crutchie” in Disney’s Newsies. Todd is also a new director here at The Barn having directed Misery and his very own original play, The Shai Ones. While The Barn is his home theater, he has also ventured performing at The Ovation Theatre in Bakersfield where he played “Nachum” in Fiddler on the Roof, and “Jonas Fogg” in Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Some of his favorite roles include “Igor” (pronounced Eye-gor) in Young Frankenstein at The Barn, “Finch” in Newsies at Linsday Community Theatre, and “George Bailey” in It’s a Wonderful Life at his high school, SCCA. When Todd is not on the stage, he is continuing his creativity through his artwork. Aside from acting, drawing is another passion of his (you can find him at @sweeneytoddst on Instagram). You may have seen some of his artwork for The Barn throughout the recent years not only for posters, but for our hand painted marquees for shows such as Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka, Harold and Maude, Misery, Change at Last, Newsies, and The Shai Ones.
