“Matt is so full of life. Every time I see him, he's exploding with an energy that's so "Matt". His smile brightens up a room, and I'm so grateful to get to know him, especially this semester. He's an extremely talented actor, and working with him in literally every production he's been in so far has been an absolute pleasure. I'm so proud of him, for getting to play so many different kinds of characters and show the world just how talented and multi-dimensional he is. I'm sure he will continue to do great things, for Butler mainstages and for the world. When he graduates, he'll hit the professional world like a force of nature, and I'm so excited to see it.“
