The spring of 2006 will mark ten years since Chris received his Technical Theatre Diploma from Mount Royal College. In between his first and second years there he had his first paying theatre job as Festival Technician for Maenad Theatre's FemFest. Which took place in... The Joyce Doolittle Theatre.

Chris is back in the building again, this time as Production Manager, and hopes he knows a bit more than he did the first time. During the ten years in between, Chris has worked as a freelance technician for several theatre companies in the Calgary area, and worked as Technical Director for the likes of One Yellow Rabbit, Theatre Junction, and the Plan "B" Festival, and as Site Manager for the Calgary International Children's Festival.

Some of his favorite shows he has worked on include: "Little Shop of Horrors", "Cabaret", and "Fire" at Theatre Calgary, "RadioHeaded" with Denise Clarke, "The History of Wild Theatre", and "FeatherLand" at One Yellow Rabbit, "Tir-Na-Nog" by Traveling Light Theatre Company, from Bristol England, and finally "Under Wraps, A Spoke Opera" by Artistic Fraud from Newfoundland, where he met his girl Heather.
