Chris McDaniel

Technical Director

Chris's love for theater began in 2007 when his youngest daughter got her first part in a play with Curtain Call. He started out mostly working on set construction, but soon discovered his passion for technical theater. In 2013, Chris began volunteering as a sound technician and later as a lighting technician. He quickly became known for his attention to detail and technical expertise, and currently serves as the organization's technical director and as a member of the Kokomo Curtain Call Theater for Children's Executive Board.

In addition to his work in theater, Chris has a background in engineering. He graduated from Purdue University in 1998 with a BS in Electrical Engineering, and currently works as a software engineer for a major US automotive supplier. However, Chris has always had a creative side and is passionate about using his skills to bring theater to life.

Chris is dedicated to the community and enjoys sharing his love of theater with others. He believes that live theater has the power to inspire and bring people together, and is honored to be a part of the Curtain Call family.
