Meet Our Theatre Department Director - Chris Rushing
Christopher S. Rushing
Chris is an actor, director, playwright, theatre-maker, and educator with a decade of experience in arts education.

As an actor and director, he’s worked on over half of Shakespeare’s canon (only 16 left!). He was a founding member of The Seedling Project, an experimental theater collective that was driven by Theatre for community, Theatre for research, and Theatre for growth. It was pretty groovy.
