Chris Enni (Sound Design) has enjoyed working on sound design for the Bus Barn Stage.  In pursuing his writing career, Chris has had two of his plays produced at the Foothill College New Works Festival - THE MAN WHO MARRIED A DUMB WIFE and THE PUPPET FACTORY.  Before writing plays, Chris enjoyed writing songs featured on television, radio, and video.  And before that, he toured nationally with his band The Cardiff Reefers, which came to an abrupt end when he and his wife decided to have children.  And before that, he doesn't remember much - because of the children.  Chris also plays jazz, popular and classical piano as well as electric guitar in his current band, Bad Daddy (we really aren't that bad).  Thank you for coming to see another great show brought to you by your great local talent at the Bus Barn.
