DAVID ARTHUR BACHRACH performed in Snowlion Rep's The Christmas Bride and Mesmerized. A native of Brunswick currently living in New York City, he is delighted to be returning again to his native state for The Elephant Piece, although he does come home to Maine every summer for lobster, concerts (Bowdoin Summer Music) and trips to Popham Beach.

David Arthur has been an actor all his life, having performed in plays, musicals, operas, in cabaret and occasionally as an ensemble dancer. For 40+ years he was a professional church musician and in the 00's helmed a jazz vocal quartet. During his career, more than half a dozen playwrights have written roles especially for him, and he estimates that he has performed on stage before tens of thousands of people, no exaggeration. Ironically - church musician notwithstanding - he feels that his biggest successes have been as pagans, including, severally, Prometheus, Pontius Pilate, Oberon, Socrates, Cymbeline, Screwtape, Enobarbus and, he hopes, Bones.

David Arthur's association with Al D'Andrea and Margit Ahlin goes back to productions and readings with NYC's Third Step Theater Company in the 1980's, a time when work was fantastical and rehearsal space was cheap. Fortunately, the work is still fantastical.

When he's not acting, David Arthur is an avid rollerblader and has recently begun taking yoga classes. He even tried ballroom dance for a few years but found it to be fraught and extremely complicated. When he's in Portland, he takes classes at Bikram and with the fabulous Casco Bay Movers. Now a committed New Yorker, he holds modest subscriptions to two great NYC institutions: the New York Philharmonic and the New York Yankees. He has also built a garden on the patio outside his Manhattan studio apartment and over time has become convinced that the garden takes care of him, not the other way around. To conclude, thanks for being a part of the Snowlion family, and goddess bless us through all our journeys.
