About Chris
Passionate both on stage and on screen, I bring interdisciplinary insights into defining the most intricate, intimate, and implicit moments in my characters’ lives. A proud recent graduate of Wesleyan University, I am grateful for the creative and cultivating theatre and film culture at my alma mater.

About Small Mouth Sounds: with few lines at my disposal, I turned carefully devised body movements and non-verbal sounds into intertwined pain, confusion, grief, love, and relief, guiding the audience through Jan’s courageous quest for human connections and self-discovery. At the end of the play, I brought on stage my character’s—and my own, as an actor—transformations. Show more & photos
