🎭✨ Meet WP, a resident at St. Luke North Canton, who has led an extraordinary life filled with music, Broadway, and unforgettable moments.
Growing up in Akron, WP’s love for music was sparked by his mother, a well-known vaudeville singer. His upbringing surrounded by stories, songs, and vibrant characters helped shape his artistic heart.
WP’s Broadway journey began in 1967 and spanned over two decades, culminating in his final performance in Oliver! in 1988. Along the way, he earned a Tony Award nomination for his role in Jesus Christ Superstar and shared the stage with iconic figures, including Salvador Dalí.
WP’s personal life was just as remarkable as his career. He met his husband, Joseph, “across a crowded room,” and their love story defied the boundaries of their time.
WP continues to share his rich legacy, and we’re honored to feature him as our resident this week. 💖
