Chris Robertson is so happy to be working with Transformation Theatre again having just appeared in the virtual reading of Bandera Texas. A NJ-native, Chris is no stranger to theatre (or zoom) productions, having been involved in "show biz" since childhood. Some of his favorite roles include: Emcee (Cabaret), Jesus (Godspell), Snoopy (YAGMCB) and Bottom (A Midsummer Night's Dream). Behind the scenes, he's worked as a fight choreographer for several productions and has SAFD certification in Unarmed Combat and Single Sword. When not performing, Chris teaches at ATC Studios, a non-profit acting school in Clifton, NJ. Much love to my biggest fans, Cara and Leora.
