Toby is very excited to be working with Theatre Network for the first time. Toby has been a professional performer in Vancouver since he was 16 years old. Highlights include: The Dishwashers (Canadian Premiere); The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged (Arts Club Theatre); Design For Living, Lifeskills, Gutenberg! The Musical! (PH Theatre), Blankety Blank: The Musical, A Twisted Christmas Carol (Belfry Theatre). Toby won the Canadian Comedy Award in 2008 for Best Sketch Troupe with Canadian Content.

Chris is a friendly bon vivant with a penchant for weightlifting and a large Incredible Hulk action figure collection. He was born to a religious home in Kitchener, Ontario, and has been a writer ever since. His background is in the theatre, where he has penned over thirty plays, including musicals, solo shows and plays for young audiences. A highlight was BASH’D! A GAY RAP MUSICAL, which played Off Broadway and won a GLAAD media award.  He has since added TV and Film to his pursuits, co-creating TINY PLASTIC MEN with Mosaic Entertainment for SuperChannel. It’s now in its fourth season. It’s been nominated for the Canadian Screen Award for Best Comedy three times in a row, so it can longer be attributed to clerical error. He continues his work with Mosaic Entertainment, as series director on Season 4 of CAUTION MAY CONTAIN NUTS. Chris is also the writer/director of IT’S NOT MY FAULT AND I DON’T CARE ANYWAY, starring Alan Thicke and Quentin Aaron, based on his play PUBLIC SPEAKING. He has recently created his first VR project, and it has zombies.
