Colonials: An American Shakespeare Company





Christopher Otazo

Much Ado About Nothing marked Christopher’s stage debut. A recent transplant to Santa Monica from the East coast, he spent most of his adult life working in motion pic- ture and television advertising by day and playing medium-loud music in NYC’s downtown clubs by night. He has directed commercials, composed music for commercials and films— most recently for Noah Baumbach and Jennifer Jason Leigh’s Greenberg with the seminal St. Louis punk band, Drunks With Guns (Mr. Otazo has never been to St Louis.)
