A full-time professor in the Theatre Arts
Department, Chris serves as resident scenic designer, co-lighting and sound
designer, fight choreographer, and director. For the past 15 years, he has
worked in every area of the theatre, developing his skills as a designer,
director, producer, actor, writer, and educator. His design work has been seen
throughout the Central Valley in productions at The Fourth Wall, The Enchanted
Playhouse, The Icehouse, and – of course – COS, where he looks forward to many
more collaborations with an amazingly gifted staff. As a director, his local
productions have included such challenging fare as Assassins, Art, Richard III,
Our Country’s Good, and his own version of Dracula, which premiered at COS this
past fall.
