Christopher Lazariuk is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, an alum of the 2011 MATS theatre program through the Eugene O'neill Theatre Center, and a freelance performance artist who interns at The Puppet Kitchen, in the Lower East Side. The chaos of this summer has seen him working in theatres, on the streets, in music festivals, ramen noodles, and jumping from couch to couch for a season to save money on rent. He would like to thank these loving friends from the bottom of his heart for their countless moments of generosity. I would not have been able to make it this far without your love.
