Matthew LaBanca was born and raised in a home that literally straddled the NY/CT state line, and grew up simultaneously in very blue collar/white collar communities. Nobody can figure out his accent. Matthew attended and graduated from the University of Connecticut. He still can't figure out why he's not into college basketball. Matthew has spent his entire artistic career as a performer, and is among those who can't figure out how he came to be writing a playwright's bio, when his most notable writing achievement to date was earning a 2 on the AP English exam in high school. Good Enough marks Matthew's debut as a playwright, producer, and solo performer. This piece, which StageBuddy.com described as "comedy with a side of heartbreak", earned the 2014 Best Musical Award at United Solo, the largest solo theatre festival in the world. Good Enough, which portrays how living the supposed "right" life can create an ache for authenticity, played to sold out houses Off-Broadway at NYC's Theatre Row. The piece was invited for additional presentations as a part of the United Solo Encore Series for 2015, and interest in Good Enough continues to surface, from regional, collegiate and NYC theaters. As a performer, Matthew made his Broadway debut with Young Frankenstein. He covered the title role, and during previews in NYC, stepped into the part for multiple shows, performing the role to acclaim. Matthew also appeared in the 2009 Broadway company of White Christmas. For several seasons, Matthew was on the roster for the extras chorus at the Metropolitan Opera House. His television credits include 30 Rock, MTV's Made, and Live from Lincoln Center.
