  CLEVE INTERVIEW:
*Chris Richards* Proves
   He is the Real Deal
  in Dobama Theatre's
 Cleveland Premiere of
*'The Realistic Joneses'*


Chris Richards says he gets compared a lot to "a young Kevin Spacey." That
recommendation alone should make you want to check him out in Dobama's
local premiere of *The Realistic Joneses*, opening Friday and playing
through Feb. 14.

The Will Eno relationship drama is directed by Shannon Sindelar and
features Joel Hammer, Tracee Patterson, and Rachel Zake. For tickets and
more information, call 216-932-3396 <216.932.3396> or visit dobama.org
<http://www.dobama.org/>. The venue is located at 2340 Lee Road in
Cleveland Heights.

Chris boasts a resume almost as long as Mr. Spacey himself. Most recently,
he portrayed Mitch Albom in *Tuesdays with Morrie* at Playhouse on Park in
West Haven, CT (September-October 2015), and Alan/David Zuckerman in *Exquisite
Potential* with Interplay Jewish Theater (November 2015).

Local playgoers may have seen the North Canton native in Dobama's *Sons of
the Prophet*(2013 Cleveland Critics Circle Awards Superior Achievement Best
Actor in a Non-Musical) and *Gutenberg! The Musical! *Other Northeast Ohio
credits include assignments at Cleveland Play House, Great Lakes Theater,
 Lakeland Civic, The Beck Center, Ohio Shakespeare Festival, and Porthouse
Theatre. He also trained nearby, getting his B.F.A.  in Musical Theatre
Performance at Kent State University.

He has also made many Off-Broadway appearances at venues such as The
Pearl (*The
Philanderer, The Misanthrope* - 2011 Lucille Lortel Award Nomination Best
Revival), The Mint (*I Am A Camera, Meeting Molnar*), Project Shaw (*The
League of Youth*), and The Gallery Players (the title role in *Richard II*).


Chris' film and TV roles include *Bachelorette *(with Kirsten Dunst), *Madam
Secretary* (CBS), *The Knick* (Cinemax), *Orange is the New Black*
 (Netflix).
