CHRIS FIELDS (Props) is excited and proud to be joining the gang at the Mint Theater for a fifth time ( Conflict, The Price of Thomas Scott, The Mountains Look Different, Chains), and so glad to be working with Vicki Davis again. He was previously Props Master at Shakespeare & Co., Barrington Stage Company, Flat Rock Playhouse, Contemporary American Theater Festival, several Off-Broadway shows, and the musical Anna Karenina at Circle in the Square. He was the Associate Props Master at the Public Theater for several years. As a craftsperson he helped create the original costumes for The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, as well as the goat for the original production of Edward Albee’s The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?. Among his proudest accomplishments is six arrests and an Obie Award as a member of ACTUP. (If you haven’t heard of them, Google it.) So much thanks to my family and friends who make this crazy life in the theater possible.
