In the theatre, Chris has performed the works of the some of the greatest playwrights of the past and present, from William Shakespeare to August Wilson to David Mamet and beyond.

On Broadway, Chris played Audra McDonald's brother, Noah, in the Tony nominated revival of 110 In The Shade and he was able to call Phylicia Rashaad, Diahann Carroll, Clifton Davis and Leslie Uggams "family" in Blue at The Pasadena Playhouse.
