Hello!! My name is Connor,
and here’s a little bit about me…
My name is Connor and I was born and raised in Edmond, Oklahoma, a suburb just right outside of Oklahoma City. I have been singing and dancing around for as long as I can remember. I was the kid at the family functions that somehow always found a mic and decided that everyone there needed to hear karaoke with choreography and honestly not much has changed since!
I am currently living in Nashville, Tennessee, which is where I graduated in 2025 with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from Lipscomb University in the heart of Music City. While being based here in Nashville, I’ve had the pleasure to work with companies such as, Nashville Children’s Theatre, Studio Tenn, Nashville Shakespeare Festival, Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Cumberland County Playhouse, MTI International, Concord Theatrics, Big Idea Productions and so many more! Despite being based in Nashville, I am also able to work as a local hire in Seattle, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and New York!
I am also currently signed with Misty Griggs at the Advantage Talent Agency in Nashville, Tennessee for Film, TV, Commercial, Print, and Industrial work.
As a theatre artist, I love just about every aspect of theatre. I love being able to fully express myself and connect with a different audience every night. Every role offers a new opportunity to explore different aspects of humanity, which challenges me to grow both personally and professionally. The collaborative nature of theatre brings together a diverse group of people, all working toward a shared vision, creating a unique sense of community and purpose. Performing live keeps me present and sharp, as each show is an experience that can never be replicated exactly the same way. Theatre is a constant source of inspiration, creativity, and fulfillment that fuels my passion every day.

Kristin Chenoweth, Tony & Emmy Award Winning Actress + Mentor
"Working with Connor, I learned two things: he has an open mind and an open spirit. Two very important qualities if you want to be an actor. His work ethic is very advanced for his age and I foresee great things for him in this industry."
Celeste Simone, Broadway Vocal Coach
“I was immediately taken by his warm and gentle spirit. He was always curious to learn, never arrogant or defensive when given criticism! He kept in touch through the years, which always means something to me as a teacher, and I’ve heard and seen the improvement in him as an artist. Just an all-around nice young man!”
Beki Baker, Chair of the Lipscomb University Department of Theatre
“Connor is a dedicated and sophisticated actor who benefits every cast in which he's a member. He's well-trained in acting, singing, and dancing, making him a triple threat. With the mix of his talent and work ethic, this guy is going places. He'll be in charge one day, mark my words.”
Dr. Emily Rollie, Sound of Music Director and Theatrical Intimacy Education Faculty Member
Connor is a joy to work with. Prepared, collaborative, and creative, with delightful energy that fills the ensemble and a gorgeous voice, he is a gift to the ensemble and is someone I would be pleased to work with anytime!

Jesus Christ Superstar—an 8x Tony Award-nominee—returns in Studio Tenn’s bold new production starring Tony Award-nominee Adam Pascal as Jesus. With a thunderous score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, this electrifying musical reimagines the final days of Jesus Christ through the eyes of Judas. Torn between loyalty and fear, Judas believes the movement is growing dangerously radical. As tension builds and the world closes in, the story hurtles toward the crucifixion—capturing Jesus’ internal anguish and his ultimate acceptance of fate.
Set to pulse-pounding rock and told entirely through music, it’s a timeless story of power, sacrifice, and the human struggle behind a divine legend. Don’t miss this iconic theatrical event that has moved audiences for over 50 years.Directed by Patrick Cassidy

Everyone’s favorite ogre is back in the hilarious stage spectacle based on the Oscar-winning, smash hit DreamWorks film.
With wonderful songs and a side-splitting book, Shrek the Musical brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears.
“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand… and his name is Shrek.
Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

An electrifying new musical about the life of Elvis Presley!
His singular name still evokes immediate recognition from people all over the world! This official Elvis Presley bio-musical takes an in-depth look at the incomparable icon whose impact shaped the history of music and culture.
This new musical explores the pivotal moments in Elvis’ life, and spans from his impoverished childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi to his triumphant 1968 “Comeback Special,” and his ascent to be “The King.” As Elvis’ career skyrockets, both lifting and shattering the lives of those he loves, a secret love story is revealed, a betrayal is discovered, and “Colonel” Tom Parker changes the course of history, all in just 18 short months.
It features over 40 Elvis hits and iconic songs including, “That’s All Right,” “All Shook Up,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Burning Love,” “Good Rockin’ Tonight,” “Hound Dog,” “Love Me Tender,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Are You Lonesome,” and “Blue Suede Shoes.”
