ABOUT US
Cris and Jocelyn first became friends through West End performer, Giovanni Spano. Both ladies had been communicating with Gio, when he mentioned the two should become friends. While visiting the UK, Gio prompted Cris to message Jocelyn and congratulate her on an audition she recently had.
The rest, as they say, is history.
MEET JOCELYN
Jocelyn is a musical theatre performer based in Toronto, Ontario.
Since graduating from St. Clair College’s Musical Theatre Performance Program, she has had incredible opportunities to perform, direct and teach. When Jocelyn isn’t performing, you can find her co-hosting Breaking the Curtain and rocking out to Taylor Swift.
Jocelyn lives with her cat, Scout, named after her favourite character in To Kill a Mockingbird. Yay theatre!
MEET CRIS
Cris is a musical theatre-goer, performer, artist and aspiring Theatre Historian. She is usually found sipping an overpriced iced latte (one pump salted maple syrup, skim milk – please!), listening to classic rock, podcasts and working on graphic designs.
Cris hopes to someday teach a course on the works and legacy of Jonathan Larson. Until then, you can check out her favourite episode of the podcast: The Life & Legacy of Jonathan Larson.
Lastly, Cris is also a big advocate for artists struggling with mental health disorders and is set on helping fellow artists.
