Christopher is a New York-based director, choreographer, and educator who believes the best theatre doesn’t just entertain—it interrogates, provokes, and ultimately makes room for joy. He creates work that is as rigorous as it is human, blending movement and storytelling to explore what it means to belong, to question, and to be seen. His practice is driven by the questions “Why theatre?” and “Why now?”—questions he never expects to answer easily but which guide his commitment to creating work that resonates, disrupts, and invites reflection always in pursuit of the electric moment when artist and audience meet—and something shifts.

​

Christopher’s artistic mission is rooted in breathing new life into the classics through a Black and queer lens—challenging outdated narratives, reframing who gets centered, and inviting new generations to see themselves in timeless stories. His work is bold, kinetic, and conversation-starting, with an emphasis on amplifying voices and experiences that too often go unheard.

​

His work has reached audiences on Broadway, in universities, regional theatres, and at film festivals across the US and Europe. As a performer, he was most recently a member of the Tony Award-winning, original Broadway company of MJ: THE MUSICAL and the original Australian company and national tour of HAMILTON.​

 

Christopher is the Resident Director on the First National Tour of MJ: THE MUSICAL. He holds an MFA in Directing from Penn State and a BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Michigan.  He also attended Interlochen Arts Academy.​

 

He is the recipient of the 2019 Blois Danse International Choreographic Festival Jury Award—which is French for “he did a great job, and people noticed.”
