An “Army brat" born in northern California, Christofer was bitten by the acting bug at the tender age of five when his mother, unable to get a baby-sitter, took him on stage with her in an ANTA production of ALADDIN AND HIS GENII at the Pasadena Playhouse and again at the Pilgrimage Theatre (now the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre). An accomplished and much-admired countertenor, local audiences may remember Christofer from his performance as Mary Sunshine in over 15 productions of CHICAGO (Inland Theatre League - twice! - and StageSceneLA Award; Theatre LA Ovation, LA Weekly Theatre, LA Drama Critics Circle, BSW/Garland, and Robby Award noms.), or as John Merrick in THE ELEPHANT MAN (OC Weekly Theatre Award; LA Weekly, BSW/Garland noms.).
