Chris Berube

Yes, one of their worst nightmares for actors new to LA or the business. Always Google anyone. Directors at other theatres like The Underground Theatre and Cre8tive Differences, say things like this is not, a Next Stage or Chris Berube production, meaning they are professionals and expect this from the actors too. He is a liar and will claim he has industry connections and a history in the business that are all lies. All one needs to do is Google him to see zero work and many complaints. He is nicer to the young women because he hits on them and can be nice to the guys if they are newbies and have not caught on what a sleazy guy he is. Drinking happens back stage during the shows (yes some actors perform buzzed and drunk), also during rehearsals and other crazy drama, he can be nice, however can be cruel and gossipy about his own cast to other cast members, creating ill will, hurt feelings, bad shows and so many other problems. Not worth it when you are doing this for free in this poor little theatre, because often people do not get paid for reasons that make no sense or only sense to him. So many other decent and wonderful theatre companies and directors that do not charge dues and have real solid credits in theatre, TV and film that you can Google and check out and put on your resume with pride.
