"Glenn Taranto has come a long way since the days when he walked the boards as a member of the drama club at the old St. Joseph High School in Toms River (now known as Monsignor Donovan High School), performing in his high school's productions of musicals like South Pacific and 1776. These days, Taranto, 32, whose parents, Elizabeth and Louis Sr., still live in Island Heights, is living a dream performing in one of the hottest off-Broadway plays to ever hit New York as well as performing in a showcase or workshop production of a play he wrote."
