Chris Moore - First Time Zenon Winner in Just Three Tries By: Roy Riedy |
Chris Moore has lived most of his life in Lake Placid, but recently he moved to Sebring with his family. He was just in time to be cast as Daniel Pontipee, one of the seven brothers of Joe Willis' March, 2006, rambunctious musical, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, the play that was the first of three steps on the path to his first Zenon. Two months later he was seen as Chaz Looney, a small but essential role in Director Mac Byron's sendup, Drop Dead .
In August, Tammie Pollard chose Chris to play Kenickie in her Zenon gobbling production of the Broadway musical classic, Grease, and as annalists like to say, "The rest is history."
At the Twenty-first Annual Zenon Awards held on Saturday, October 7, 2006, Chris danced and sang "Out Tonight" from Rent with Sarah Pelham and nine other HLT dancers and singers. He joined Jonathan Jahnke and Sarah Pelham in presenting the Award for Best Costuming and sang a solo from the Broadway hit, Moving Out, "Innocent Man". However, his biggest moment came when he was awarded the Zenon for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, the role of Kenickie in Grease, which added more depth to the show's astonishing sweep. Chris went from an unknown to a Zenon winner in just seven months.
Having surrendered to the HLT bug, Chris looks forward to being involved for many seasons to come at Highlands Little Theatre, and it's not inaccurate to say that the Little Theatre audience will be looking forward to seeing him. Congratulations Chris on your rapid rise to fame.
