My name is Max DoVale. I’m a New Orleans based performer, composer, arranger, pianist, music director, and educator.
In New Orleans, Max is a part of various jazz groups, either playing the piano, singing, or both. He currently accompanies students at Loyola University New Orleans and teaches piano at the Chase Conservatory for Musical Arts, as well as Isidore Newman. Max also works with local theatre companies in New Orleans, having music/vocal directed productions of Jesus Christ Superstar, Urinetown, Grease, School of Rock, The View UpStairs, and Sweet Potato Queens. Max serves as Music Director and pianist/organist for St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church in Metairie, LA.
Max DoVale also co-starred in Le Petit’s Theatre’s production of Murder for Two. This show is a 90-minute, two-man, murder mystery musical in which both actors accompany themselves and each other on piano throughout the entire show. Max played Marcus, the lead detective, while Mark Schenfisch played The Suspects. It received rave reviews across it’s three-weekend run, which can be read below.
