Matthew Delamater from the Lakes Region area found acting later in life but it quickly became his passion. The lucky among us know exactly what they want to do with their lives but for most, it’s a long road with many twists and turns. Matthew Delamater never thought his path would lead to the stage, but now he can’t think of doing anything else. 

Delamater grew up in Oxford, went to St. Joseph’s College in Standish, and started a career in finance. Life was going well for Delamater in his 20s but he felt something was lacking so he reached out to a high school mentor, Sally Jones, who was involved in theater. Within a week, Delamater landed his first part in “The Music Man,” staged by the Oxford Hill Music and Performing Arts Association.
