Meet Christian!

Check this guy out! This is the first year we've gotten to see Christian read, and he kicked some serious you-know-what when he auditioned with Gloster's speech (yes, I like the Folio spelling, ok?) from 3 Henry VI. It was terrifying. In a good way. Some actors are just born to play certain roles. Patrick and I tend to think of these roles as an actor's spirit animal. Well, I have a feeling that Richard is Christian's spirit animal. He just inhabited this role physically, vocally, emotionally ... it was extraordinary. Such a treat for us!

He's also really quite funny. You'll see. Don't miss him in some of the best (if less well known) clown's roles in the canon. And maybe ... bring a change of clothes. Just in case.

I agree, he is a totally rad dude.
