Gavin Matthias (Composer/Lyricist/Archie) is so ready to present to you all this long-awaited project! He has loved the Archie comic series since he was seven years old and writing a musical adaptation has been on the bucket list for a long time. Gavin is a NYC-based music director, composer/lyricist who recently finished at Fordham University studying music and history. This show is bittersweet for Gavin since it's been an immense journey getting here and because he's stepping away from acting after this year to fully pursue his musical endeavors. Please enjoy the debut of a show that hopefully sticks around for years to come!
