Coley Grundman (Alvin) The Story of My Life marks Coley’s return to NCTC after an absence of twelve years, having appeared in Side by Side by Sondheim in 2000. Since then, he spent some time performing his solo cabaret act in such historic San Francisco nightclubs as the Purple Onion and the Plush Room, and hosting an open mic for a year at Martuni’s. He also took first place in the Male Professional category at the 2004 California Cabaret Competition. More recently, he performed Tateh in Ragtime with Alameda Civic Light Opera, Ginsborn in Coco with 42nd Street Moon, and Adam/Flip in The Apple Tree at the Masquers Playhouse.
