Our Team
Travis Moore
Travis has been involved in numerous aspects of the theatre art form. From actor, producer, board member and chairman to director. The logical next step is to be part of a collaboration to bring a new theatre company into existence. Travis has had the unique opportunity to work in various capacities, both on and off the stage, at essentially all the Community Theatres in the area and also at our regional houses… American Stage and freeFall. He is beyond excited to engage with Dead Canary Theatre to bring a unique brand of storytelling to our greater neighborhood.
