Barbara J. Cannon (Artistic Director, Costume Designer) has worked professionally as a director since 1991, when she directed her first show with Hillbarn Theatre in Foster City.

Chris Enni (Sound Designer) is beginning his fourth year of sound design at Bus Barn. Having worked on fifteen productions beginning with THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE, ABRIDGED in 2008 up to this current production of THE CLEAN HOUSE, Chris thinks he can solidly state that he has gotten his feet wet, in fact, quite soaked to the socks. Some favorites have been LEADING LADIES, SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE and SYLVIA. Chris graduated from UCSD in 1990 with a degree in music, studying Prokofiev by day and playing reggae by night. His life is a bit different now as he continues to write, produce, and record during the day and by night, transform into a theater rat.
