Chris Orvin
Washington Improv TheaterOn a dare, Chris auditioned in 2002 for his college long-form improv team and surprised himself (and probably others) by actually getting cast. He has enjoyed making up new worlds and characters with funny people ever since.
Chris played for three years with the Titanic Players at Northwestern University and discovered the joy of creating something new in the moment with a group of friends. After a pause for Peace Corps, Chris found his DC improv home at WIT, and has been part of Harold teams (Wonder Whale, Captain PhD, the Lineup) and indie teams (Huggy Smalls, Couch Money) and, as of fall 2024, Nox!
Chris grew up in Charleston, SC, learned how to cut rice and throw a machete in Panama, and currently works for the federal government. He still rides his high school bike and starred as a (nonvisible) extra in the movie Rustin.
