Fred Zimmerman is a respected Chicago actor who has spent over 35 years acting in National Broadway Touring Companies (Hal Prince’s productions of Show Boat & Bounce, and Frank Galati’s Ragtime), at Regional Theaters, Stock Companies, and in theaters across Chicagoland, including Goodman, Court, Northlight, Porchlight, Water Tower, Lyric Opera, the Nederlander, the Auditorium, and 18 productions at Chicago’s Marriott Theatre.

Fred can … and it’s lots of fun. Come on down to The Understudy and see for yourself.
