Re: Introducing Chris Okerberg
Dear Artistic Director:
My name is Daniel Finnian Sullivan, and I am writing to recommend Chris Okerberg. I met Chris in 2002, and, since that time, we have worked together on three productions of new plays for theatre in which Chris performed principal roles. In addition to these experiences, I have seen Chris perform leading roles in two other productions one of which was The Tragedy of King Richard the Third in which he was cast as the Duke of Gloucester. In both of these performances, I witnessed him ably handle the varied performative requirements that each script, style, character and subjective directorial approach demanded.
During this time working with Chris, I have encountered few other actors beside him who were as driven by collaborative temperament, earnest dedication and, importantly, imagination. That writ, he possesses a sense of humor and an affable way that well balance the seriousness with which he applies himself in rehearsals and performances. He is, in my judgment, an adept actor and one whose abilities would complement the quality of your company's future productions.
I recommend him certainly, I would wish to work with him again, and I hope that you will approve him and make him a part of your theatrical endeavors.
Please contact me (001-303-910-1704) if you have other questions regarding Chris Okerberg and his involvement in your theatre company.
Yours,
Daniel Finnian Sullivan
