Luigi Sottile

Luigi Sottile is very happy to be back at the Wilma working with such a wonderful cast. He is a Philadelphia-based actor and a graduate of Temple University's Theatre Program.  He was here last Spring in Leaving as Victor and has been seen at People's Light and Theatre (Nathan the Wise - Templar, Snow White: A Musical Panto - Smith, King Lear - France), Lantern Theater (The Lonesome West - Fr. Welsh, The School for Wives - Horace, Othello - Cassio, The Hothouse - Lush, The Government Inspector - Khlestakov), Azuka Theatre (Whiskey Neat - Handsome), and Shakespeare in Clark Park (The Comedy of Errors - Antipholus of Syracuse).  Next, Luigi will be seen at People's Light in Kidnapped! and right back here at the Wilma in In the Next Room or the vibrator play. Thank you so much to Blanka for this opportunity. Love to Victoria!
