He leads corporate workshops for Second City Communications and teaches improv and sketch for their Chicago Training Center. He understudied Second City's Mainstage revue Red Scare, and was a founding member of GayCo Productions, performing in twelve comedy revues for them. He is the After-Dark Award winning composer of BANDGEEKS: A HALFTIME MUSICAL, which he also directed, and has presented his solo improv show Sybil to audiences around North America. He is also the author of THE LAST CASTRATO, a solo piece which premiered at the 2004 Single File Festival in Chicago, and which was presented in November 2008 by Audacity Theatre Lab at the New Orleans Fringe Festival.

Chris Humphrey (playwright - "Boat"/ Sound Designer) has only one head, but she wears many hats, sometimes too many at once. For this production of Eye in the Sky she is a writer and composer/sound designer. Some of her writing credits include THE CONTINUING STORY OF ROCKY AND RITA: A PATAPHYSICAL ROMP, a series of mummers plays, and a brilliantly erudite scientific article called Creating the Invisible Man which she co-authored for SPIE (The International Society for Optical Engineering), adding the comic bits (not a joke). Recent audio credits include sound design for FAR AWAY, BETTY'S SUMMER VACATION, and THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR, a full original score/design for SYCORAX, and original score for the short film The Watcher. When not doing these jobs, Chris can be seen wearing other hats: actor, choreographer, costume designer, director, music teacher, and, since she's still a band geek at heart, bassoonist. She resides in beautiful Austin, Texas. You can visit her at www.chrishumphrey.org.
