David Fruechting
A Southern California native, David has portrayed more than 200 characters on southland stages. He has had the distinct — though differing — pleasures of performing with both A Noise Within and The Actors’ Gang, and has studied in London with such generous teachers as Albert Finney, Tony Church, and Ben Kingsley. David had the great joy of playing James Murray in the world première of Moby Pomerance’s wonderful play ‘The Good Book of Pedantry and Wonder’ at The Theatre @Boston Court. In addition to acting in multiple productions for International City Theatre, he has had membership in such companies as Pasadena Shakespeare, Unknown Theatre, Eclectic Company Theatre, Work with Unknowns, Sunshine Company, and Circle X. Recently, Mr. Fruechting created the role of Dr. Heinrich Kraus (The Critic) in a brand new translation and adaptation of ‘The Guardsman’, under the direction of Lillian Groag. He can be seen as Jack Wyatt, the father of a woman awakening from a 19-year coma, in the film “Leaving Limbo”. For perhaps his favorite character in the canon, David has (thus far) three times donned the “magic garment” of Prospero in ‘The Tempest’.
