Charis has been enjoying Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre  performances for years. She is the owner of Virtually Infinite Results where she enjoys helping busy business owners find the time to do more of what they love.

Growing up in Texas, Charis was lucky enough to have parents that encouraged her love of the arts. As a child, she attended countless plays, ballets, & symphonies. She believes those experiences made a huge impact on her as a person.

Charis lives in Spokane with her husband Jason & son Jagger. She loves spending time with her family, reading, baking, & sewing. Charis & Jason can’t wait for their son to be old enough to attend the theater with them in a couple of years and pass on their love of the arts.

When Erin isn't immersed in all things theatre, often creating numerous spreadsheets in the process, she can be found running lines with her actor son, watching her filmmaker daughter's short films, or listening to her husband passionately rant about the importance of mic placement in theatre productions.

At the age of 10, Mike saw his first theatrical production. Donny Osmond transfixed the audience in his emotional, and ultimately triumphant portrayal of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in Chicago’s Shubert Theatre. At the time, angry at his parents for forcing him to attend, a poutful Mike would never have guessed where he would find his passions as an adult. Now, over 25 years into his theatrical career, Chapman is thrilled to provide opportunities for children to unknowingly fall in love with the art of storytelling.

Mike holds a dual BFA in Stage Management and Lighting Design from Western Oregon University. Now based in Portland, Oregon, his career has taken him across the country from Las Vegas’ Strip to New York’s 42nd Street, from Timberlake Production to the Gershwin Entertainment Corporation. And for the last decade, sailing up America’s Riverways in nearly 200 productions. Mr. Chapman is honored to join Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre and this talented family of artists.

Through his time on stage, backstage, and in the booths of America’s theatres, supporting the works of Shephard, Shakespeare, and Albee. Lloyd Webber and Sondheim. The circus arts and the review spectacles, Mike remembers his teachers. In High School they took a chance on a shy lonely kid and brought him onstage, and backstage, giving Mike new opportunities to excel. Chapman took his new-found confidence and never stopped. Mike thanks his heroes in education who challenged him to do more, try harder, think longer, and go the distance. To those teachers and all educators, he offers his most profound gratitude.

Mike dedicates his work to his parents. Jim, who was taken far too soon, and Kathleen. Together they have cheered the successes, encouraged to try again, and stifled laughter when it was deserved.

Thank you for joining us at the theatre where our childhood wonder can take over. While in your seat, Mike invites you to lean forward and engage. Welcome to the magic!
