A proud New Orleans actor since 1992, Vatican has worked extensively at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre, as well as Rivertown Repertory Theatre's Imagine Theatre for Children, Southern Repertory Theatre, Young Audiences of New Orleans, Salem Community Theatre, and many others. He is 16-year member of Porta-Puppet Players and the author and co-star of the hit original family musical "Treehouse Player's Rapunzel" which played in New Orleans for two years before being chosen as the inaugural production for President Clinton's Americorps program in 1994. He created roles in the New Orleans premieres of several musicals, including "Grand Hotel: The Musical" (as Baron von Gaigern), "City of Angels" (as the Angel City Tenor), "Falsettos" (as Whizzer Brown), "The Secret Garden" (as Dr. Neville Craven), "Chess" (as Freddie Trumper), "Miss Saigon" (as The Engineer), and Sondheim's "The Frogs" (as Pluto).
Vatican is prominently featured in two books about New Orleans theatre history: "The Soul of the City: Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre of New Orleans" by Dr. Rebecca Fletcher Hale, and "Just Who is Stocker Fontelieu, Anyway?" by Michael Cahill.
Currently, he is the host of his own classical music show, "The Sunday Classics" heard every Sunday at 10am on 89.9 WWNO-FM and works freelance as a publicist and grant writer.
