Claude Offenbacher (Arvide Abernathy) has performed in dramatic plays and musicals on both coasts since he was ten. He originated the role of Senator Wayne Morse in Charles Deemer’s An American Gadfly (performed in several Oregon venues), and has been featured in more than a dozen Very Little Theatre musicals. He’s also been seen on stage at the Cottage Theatre. Claude, a retired school administrator and KLCC reporter and news host, is very pleased to be appearing in his first Shedd musical.
