Peter Sorkin came to Buffalo for the first time last year to work as a community organizer and fell in love with Western NY. He has since left the political world and now focuses on bettering the community through non-profit and volunteer work. His previous theater experience includes the role of Wang-Ta in School #5's presentation of Flower Drum Song when he was in third grade, and he starred as Kenickie in Camp Chipinaw's presentation of Grease when he was 15.
