S I N G E R . D A N C E R . A C T O R. P E R F O R M E R .
Hello!! My name is Connor!
and here’s a little bit about me…
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."
Beki Baker, Director + Chair of TCU Theatre Department
“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.”
“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!”
Celeste Simone, Broadway Vocal Coach
Dr. Emily Rollie, Director + 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!

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.”

In a world that asks us to fit in, this show reminds us how joyful it is to stand out. Step into the delightfully kooky world of The Addams Family, the musical comedy that celebrates the wonderfully weird. When Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, falls in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet and perfectly “normal” young man, she asks her father, Gomez, to keep the secret from her mother, Morticia. But when Lucas and his very normal parents come to dinner at the Addams mansion, an unforgettable night of shocking confessions, hilarious culture clashes, and family chaos unfolds.
Filled with infectious songs, outrageous comedy, and the iconic characters you love, The Addams Family celebrates what makes us different and reminds us that love is meant to be unconditional—promising a night at the theatre you won’t forget.

Something Rotten! is a deliriously funny Broadway musical comedy about two struggling playwright brothers determined to outshine the biggest arrogant rock star of their time—William Shakespeare. Desperate for a hit play, Nick Bottom visits a fortuneteller, who predicts the future of theater: “How about a musical?!” Armed with this questionable prophecy, Nick and his brother Nigel set out to create the world’s very first musical—complete with singing, dancing, and one outrageously ridiculous musical number that hilariously confuses “Hamlet” with “omelette.”
Packed with show-stopping songs, razor-sharp wit, and hilarious nods to Broadway classics, this wildly inventive show is often called one of the smartest and funniest musical comedies ever written. You don’t have to know anything about Shakespeare to love it—whether you adore him or can’t stand him, Something Rotten! will have you laughing from start to finish.
And with music and lyrics by Middle Tennessee native Wayne Kirkpatrick, this Broadway hit has a special connection right here to our own community.
