Having grown up in and around Fort Worth, Kris is a devoted (and often outspoken) hype man for the Panther City. So it only makes sense that he’d eventually find a gig writing about it. Before that, Kris wrote about theater for TheaterJones, and once contributed an uncredited picture to the Dallas Observer, of which he’s quite proud and only a little miffed. Besides journalistic endeavors, Kris writes plays and performance pieces, including two 10 minute plays, a short monologue, and a full-length one-man show, all produced in Dallas at one time or another, the latter also getting a run in Los Angeles. He has a master's degree from UNT in Performance Studies and is currently trying to finish up his PhD in the same subject at UT Dallas.
