BOARD

    CEO/DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY

The Director of Technology focuses on theatrical tools used for quality Live Theater performances, to augment the Actors’ abilities to convey the message of the script to the audience. These tools must not distract or alter the plot. They will assist the audience in understanding the meaning and nuances of the story.

Theater Technology for live theater is useless when it overwhelms the production. Keeping the voices heard, faces illuminated, and the mood in tune with the plot is vital. Chris is an IT specialist at his "real Job" and with HTP! A fun fact about Chris is that his wife, Kitty speaks better Japanese than he does!
