The performance will be narrated by Christopher Fairbanks. Fairbanks has been teaching, acting, writing, and directing for over thirty years, starting with The Loose Change Improv Comedy Group in the Bay Area (thanks to younger sister Jennifer Fairbanks).
He received his BFA at NYU and his MFA at UCLA, where he met Gil Cates. Cates invited Fairbanks to the Geffen Playhouse to cover a variety of roles for many actors, including Ed Harris, Bill Pullman, Gregory Itzen, John Carroll Lynch, Max Wright, and others. Acting opposite Frank Langella in The Father with Kathryn McCormick was among many highlights. Christopher has also performed in several productions at A Noise Within, including Bus Stop, Desire Under The Elms, and Julius Caesar. A baritenor, Christopher has sung in productions of Kiss Me Kate, Polyester the Musical, Earth Sucks, Democracy (a reading with Harry Groener), and in a musical send-up of Lost on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
