CO-DIRECTOR

Chris Roberts is a SPED teacher at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, and coaches middle-school girls basketball for the West Tisbury School and MV Travel. He wears his improv comedy hat, Shakespeare hat, Chekhov hat—well, any kind of acting hat—whenever possible. He has a BFA from Southern Methodist University, and graduated from Columbia University with an MFA in acting. He has performed at several international theater festivals, in NYC, and regionally, where he honed the juggling and joke-telling skills that so impressed his wife. One of his favorite roles is Dad to a sophomore at Emerson College, a 9th grader, a scruffy dog, and six chickens. Good thing he likes eggs.
