Christopher McCann

Christopher McCann appeared at Arena in 1987 in Lucien Pintilie's remarkable production of Ibsen's The Wild Duck. His New York credits include True Love, Lydie Breeze, Impossible Marriage, Tony Kushner's A Dybbuk, Caryl Churchill's Mad Forest and Elizabeth Egloff's The Devils directed by Garland Wright, as well as The Lights at the Lincoln Center Theater, for which he received a Drama Desk nomination and an Obie Award. Mr. McCann has done several productions for Theater For a New Audience including Richard III (Richard), Richard II (Bolingbroke) , the recent Pericles (Pericles) at BAM and Robert Woodruff's somewhat notorious production of The Changeling (DeFlores) for whom he also did the original New York production of Sam Shepard's Buried Child. He has had the good fortune to appear at many of the regional theaters around the country. Highlights of his film and television credits include Mary Harran's soon to be released The Ballad of Betty Page, Tom Fontana's Strip Search (directed by Sidney Lumet), and the never released Repair Shop directed by Phillip Noyce. Anne Bogart's production of Sophie Treadwell's Intimations for Saxaphone at Arena Stage was his first production with the SITI Company and his second with Ms. Bogart. He has directed the works of Quincy Long, Jessica Goldberg, Herb Leibman, Sam Shepard and Joseph Chaikin.
