For over fourteen years, Chris Giordano has been an educator, director, and performer dedicated to inspiring the next generation of theatre artists. He has taught musical theatre, improv, audition technique, and acting with a wide range of organizations, including AMDA College and Conservatory, Inside Broadway, The New York Film Academy, TexARTS, the 92nd Street Y, Brooklyn Acting Lab, Kidville, The Play Group Theatre, KJK Productions, Camp Broadway, The Boys and Girls Club, and the Putney School Summer Program. At AMDA, he served as lead teacher for both the High School Summer Conservatory and the GAP Program for Acting.
 

Chris served as Managing Director of Brooklyn Acting Lab, where he developed curricula, policies, and systems for classes and faculty. He is a member of the Educational Theatre Association and has presented workshops and adjudicated at the New York Thespian Festival. He also contributed to the New York City Arts in Education Roundtable’s Teaching Artist Affairs Committee for two years.
 

As a professional theatre artist, Chris has worn many hats—actor, director, and producer. He spent three years as Producing Director of a Manhattan-based non-profit theatre company, producing six Off-Broadway shows, including an annual festival of ten-minute musicals presented at venues like Merkin Hall at Kaufman Music Center, The Signature Theatre, and West End Theater. His work in new musical development earned him invitations to adjudicate the Samuel French Off-Off-Broadway Short Play Festival. He also edited an anthology of ten-minute musicals and secured a licensing deal with Music Theatre International. See available producing services.

His performance credits include national tours (Broadway Christmas Wonderland, The Berenstain Bears Live!), Off-Broadway (Pinkalicious: The Musical), and regional theaters such as Weathervane Theatre, Gretna Theatre, Westchester Broadway Theatre, and La Comedia Dinner Theatre. He also performed in The Polar Express Train Ride, a site-specific experience produced by Rail Events and Warner Bros. A SAG-AFTRA member since 2011, Chris has appeared in over 60 television & film projects as a featured background actor, photo double, and stand-in.

​

As a director, he helmed MARIO! A Salute to the Great Lanza starring Sean Patrick Murtagh (winner of the 2020 MAC Award for Best Male Debut), and directed short plays for the Emerging Artist Theatre's New Work Series. He also co-wrote “Kristy’s Lament (Another Awful Day with the MTA)” with composer Ryan Edward Wise, performed by Broadway’s Kristy Cates, with a  music video of the song in 2018 produced by NYFA and available on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify.
 

Chris currently lives in Westchester County, New York.
