Welcome! My name is Chris Baron, and this is my website; in a nutshell, I'm a working performer who loves all artistic mediums from song to film to stage and beyond. Here you'll find some information about me, my previous credits and projects, some audio clips and the like, so feel free to browse and toss me an E-Mail if you've got any questions or comments. Especially if you're interested in employing me. :)

Saturday, December 19th, 2009: Snow Day
Thought I'd take this snowy Saturday to update. Finished up my contract with Bucks County Playhouse in early December, and now I'm working on a few other projects. I'm finishing up my third year with The Yuletide Carolers, my fifth year with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the NJ State Theater with Middlesex County Plays-in-the-Park, and am currently musically directing a production of Peter Pan with the Villagers Theatre in Somerset, NJ. It's been a busy month, and hopefully that trend will continue into 2010. Happy holidays to everyone out there!
Saturday, September 12th, 2009: Into the Fall
So, I booked some additional shows (Little Women and All Shook Up) with Bucks County Playhouse and finished out the summer with a bang. Such a crazy, fast-paced learning experience, and I'm so glad I was blessed with the opportunity to do it. You're sort of forced to transform yourself as a performer and figure out many, many little time-saving actor tricks that you can put in your pocket and use in the future :) I actually just signed on to continue with BCP in the fall doing RENT (Ensemble, Mark/Roger u/s), Sweeney Todd (Anthony), The Rocky Horror Show (Riff Raff), The Producers (Ensemble) and It's a Wonderful Life (Sam Wainwright), so I'm really stoked about that. They say your resume kind of explodes when you do summer stock, and they're not kidding. Onward we go.
Monday, April 13th, 2009: Summer Work
Hey everyone. I used to post the news on the side, but it left this body section looking pretttty empty. So I think I'm gonna just news it up on the main page here if y'all don't mind. Just wanted to post my summer plans up here; I recently signed a contract to do four shows with the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA. We actually just closed our initial run of Godspell (Jeffrey), and following this I'll be doing You're a Good Man Charlie Brown (Schroeder), High School Musical 2 (Jack Scott/Ensemble) and A Chorus Line (Bobby). So that's my summer up until mid-August. It's an absolute blast so far, and the people are quite wonderful.
Also, the improv troupe I'm in, Quaint Little Coffeeshop has two more outings before we disband: this coming weekend we'll be performing at the Lehigh Improv Festival, and then we'll finish up where it all started at the Cabaret Theatre in New Brunswick for our final show on May 9th. It's been an absolute blast working with these guys, and I'm confident our last show is going to be a ton of fun, so feel free to come on out for some inexpensive comedy if you're in the area. Other than that, I'm just trying to keep busy and write some music, so hopefully in the coming months I'll have some recordings to speak of. We shall see! We shall see.. :)
Monday, January 5th, 2009: Happy New Year!
Hey all, some quick updates. December was a blast, I finished up my second season with the Yuletide Carolers, singing at tons of locations all over NJ, and I also completed my fourth turn of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat over at the NJ State Theater which is always an absolute pleasure. Lots of folks ask me why I'd want to do any show several times, and I always tell them it's the people, the fact that it's consistently a tight production, and you can't go wrong with the venue. Such an experience, time and time again. No theatrical projects right now, but I am working on a short film by Kristin DeStefano titled Here Without You which begins filming this coming weekend. Aside from that, it's back to the audition grind. Here's to a productive 2009 full of surprises and new experiences. Hope everyone had a great holiday!
Thursday, October 30th, 2008: Website's Up!
Hey all, looks like the website's up and running :) Just wanted to add some performance stuff: I'll be opening Songs For a New World at the Cabaret Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ, on Friday, November 7th playing the role of Man 1. It'll run for two weekends, check out http://www.cabarettheatre.org/ for more information. Amazing creative team headed up by Joey Braccino and John Watson, and an amazing cast, come check it out!
Also, I'm back in rehearsals for The Yuletide Carolers, a seasonal professional vocal group. We perform all over NJ during the holiday season, toss me a message for more information on that.
