Dick Pearl (“Frank Gianelli”) returns to Lakewood Theatre after a few years, but we fondly remember him as “Howard” in Picnic and his direction of Father of the Bride.  Dick has performed in numerous productions as actor and director throughout the Mid-state and the New England areas.  Credits include Boys Next Door, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Fools, Mass Appeal, On Golden Pond, and many others.  Dick loves the idea that he actually gets the opportunity to for once get the upper hand a few times while playing opposite his real life wife in this production.
