L.M. (aka Dave)


Dave Newman (L.M.) is a lifelong Indianapolis resident, a Howe High School and Butler University graduate who majored in music education. Dave is currently principal of the Mary Nicholson Visual and Performing Arts Academy at IPS #70. He was keyboard player and vocalist for the popular local rock band Clarian (1980-85) and has performed with fellow “Pump Boy” Kevin Friedly in the variety group Audio Diner for over 30 years. With Audio Diner he has entertained audiences from Arizona to New Orleans and all over the Midwest.
An ‘avid’ accordion player and even better tap dancer – skills he only acquired to do Pump Boys & Dinettes, Dave is very pleased to be reprising his role as LM for the millionth time. His long list of former stage credits includes Pump Boys & Dinettes, 1991; Pump Boys & Dinettes, 1994; Pump Boys & Dinettes, 2000; Pump Boys & Dinettes, 2003, Pump Boys and Dinettes 2007, (you get the picture)… He and his wife Tricia live just north of Irvington, where they enjoy landscaping and screening their phone calls. On a serious note, Dave is privileged to have been chosen to play LM with this amazing cast of characters. They are wonderful people and great friends. Thanks for the opportunity to share the stage with you. PB&D, one more time!!!
