Chris was founder and director of The Commonwealth Stage Company, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This small company offered popular productions as well as lesser known works. The Company floated around different venues in the early years but finally found a home at the, then, People Place Art Center (corner of Market & Third Streets, Harrisburg). Chris was a dynamic, creative spirit who recognized talent in others and supported their efforts. As the output of this stage company showed, he knew how to create the most with very little financial support. Theatre was a passion, surely, but film was his other, and equal, passion.
